Espionage: I became sworn brothers with Zheng Yaoxian at the beginning, and became the Seventh Broth

Chapter 1083 The Way Out

With the end of Wang Jingwei's wicked life, the domestic situation of the War of Resistance against Japan underwent another tremendous change.

Whether later generations acknowledge it or not, at least during the Republic of China era, Wang Jingwei did indeed have a great influence and appeal in Chinese politics.

His existence did indeed provide a fig leaf for some of the surrender faction.

Many people believe that they did not betray their country and defect to the enemy.

They simply took different paths.

of course.

This was merely self-deception; they knew perfectly well the truth. Later generations saw it even more clearly.

They are all guilty.

There is no possibility of whitewashing it.

However, one thing is certain: with the death of Wang Jingwei, the Japanese puppet government in Central and Southern China did indeed gain overt support.

Many people have begun to openly or secretly look for a way out for themselves.

Or perhaps the whole family fled.

Or they might secretly contact organizations in the mountain city through special channels.

Among them, the Military Intelligence Bureau was the most convenient.

It was also the best channel for those traitors and collaborators to secretly communicate with the mountain city.

This included the number two figure in the Nanjing puppet government.

Zhou Fuhai. His attitude of surrender towards Shancheng naturally attracted Shancheng's attention.

For a time, the two sides were locked in an extremely heated battle.

Because of his position, Ye Shaohong inevitably became involved in this as well.

The more involved he became, the worse his perception of the Nationalist government grew.

no way.

Who told him to be Ye Shaohong, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's external branch?

For years, he has been stationed in the mountain city, busy fighting and fighting the Japanese invaders in the occupied areas.

It is precisely for this reason that Ye Shaohong has a better understanding of the crimes committed by those traitors who have long since surrendered to the enemy and betrayed their country.

In fact, Ye Shaohong even secretly set up a room in his home to record hundreds of atrocities committed by those traitors and sellouts. The list of their crimes was endless.

Ye Shaohong wished he could kill them all one by one.

They didn't even spare their families.

Some might say that Ye Shaohong's ideas are too cruel, too cold-blooded, and too heartless.

They can no longer even be called human.

However, Ye Shaohong didn't care.

He has his own set of views on life, values, and morality.

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence.

The premise of not bringing misfortune upon family members is that the benefits should not extend to family members.

If his family members benefited from his betrayal, from his corruption and bribery, and from the education, lifestyle, and material and spiritual comforts that were not rightfully his… then…

Their families are also guilty.

They will also be subject to punishment.

Why?

Is it possible that one person's mistake benefits their family and clan, bringing advantages to everyone around them and changing a life that shouldn't belong to them?

Afterwards, as long as the person who made the mistake is dealt with, the matter will be over?

Is it fair?

unfair!

Perhaps Ye Shaohong's thinking is biased and wrong, but it must be admitted that his ideas also have some merit.

If this outcome is acceptable to people, then anyone wanting to change their family's life can simply elect someone and lead them down the wrong path, which would become the best way to get rich.

Fastest route?

Moreover, such a thing won't be condemned or criticized, what a worthwhile deal!

It is truly the best way to change one's social class and transcend social class.

And what about Ye Shaohong?

He had another consideration.

How did he get the nickname "Seventh Brother of the Military Intelligence Bureau" and "Seventh Brother of Yama"?

It was earned by killing the Japanese devils, killing the traitors and collaborators who betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy, with countless bones and endless lives.

If these people are allowed to escape this calamity unscathed, and then climb back to high positions within the Nationalist government, they will eventually meet Ye Shaohong.

Or perhaps they happened to hear Ye Shaohong's name.

Recalling Ye Shaohong's vicious reputation and the things he had done, those former traitors and collaborators who had changed sides, for the sake of their own lives and property, and for the sake of their relatives, friends, and acquaintances who had long since died at Ye Shaohong's hands, all thought about their own safety and well-being.

Will they let Ye Shaohong go?

No.

Even if only a small number of people dare to openly or secretly trip up Ye Shaohong, make things difficult for him, or take action against the Ye family, it would be a considerable problem for Ye Shaohong and the Ye family.

A considerable threat.

Ye Shaohong absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, as early as when those traitors and sellouts began to openly and secretly collude with Chongqing in an attempt to survive and preserve their lives, Ye Shaohong made his stance clear and refused to create any opportunities for them.

This also greatly displeased Dai Yunong.

The two even had a rare direct confrontation inside the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, arguing loudly.

At that moment, the entire Military Intelligence Bureau building fell silent.

It was so quiet you could almost hear a pin drop.

Everyone tensed up, lowered their breathing, and slowed their pace, fearing that the two most powerful figures in the Military Intelligence Bureau might implicate them because of their dispute.

Afterwards, news of what happened that day even reached the residence of the bald-headed chairman.

The bald-headed chairman even summoned Ye Shaohong directly.

He was severely reprimanded.

They openly and secretly complained and criticized Ye Shaohong, saying that he shouldn't have acted so recklessly and disregarded the overall situation.

Ye Shaohong had become increasingly bolder in recent years due to his frequent contact with the bald-headed Chairman, who was also a fellow townsman, senior schoolmate, and military academy principal.

Unlike a few years ago, he was no longer timid and dared not speak his mind.

Ye Shaohong frankly expressed his concerns.

He even directly told the bald-headed chairman that if his demands could not be guaranteed, the day the war ended would be the day he, Ye Shaohong, would leave the Nationalist government.

At that time, Ye Shaohong will take his family members and his children and head overseas.

No return.

That's right.

Ye Shaohong is now considering retiring from public life.

He has already begun to plan for his own future, the fate of his family, and the future of his children.

Moreover, he seized a good opportunity and found a good reason.

After listening to Ye Shaohong's account, the bald-headed chairman fell silent.

Even the bald-headed chairman had to admit that Ye Shaohong's words were entirely correct.

If those who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country were allowed to return safely to the mountain city and the government, others might not be in any danger.

But Ye Shaohong was not one of them.

In recent years, Ye Shaohong has been in charge of nearly half of the Military Intelligence Bureau's power. Although the bald-headed Chairman had his own considerations and arrangements, Ye Shaohong has always done a very good job.

As a result, Ye Shaohong's hands were stained with the blood of many Japanese devils and traitors.

When that day comes, with everyone launching a reasonable counterattack, even he might not be able to protect the life and fortune of his fellow villager and junior schoolmate.

It's no wonder Ye Shaohong was so angry and lost his composure today.

Is it really impossible to save it?

Actually, no. Rather, the bald-headed chairman has his own considerations. As long as the benefits are great enough, he is willing to sacrifice anyone when weighing the pros and cons.

This also includes Ye Shaohong.

Having understood this principle, and having considered the future consequences of Ye Shaohong several years in advance, the bald-headed chairman could no longer continue to reprimand and reprimand Ye Shaohong.

He waved wearily and said he would consider the matter carefully.

He then let Ye Shaohong leave directly.

During this time, the bald-headed chairman, unusually, did not brandish his cane to discipline Ye Shaohong with a stick.

As Ye Shaohong emerged from the Chairman's residence and stood on the main road, he glanced back at the residence, first silently shaking his head, then letting out a sneer.

He's a time traveler from the future.

If it were someone else, they might have believed a little of the bald-headed chairman's feigned concern.

They would be extremely grateful.

But Ye Shaohong is different.

He knew very well how the situation would change in the future, and he knew even more clearly that with his own strength, it was impossible to change the general trend of history.

He has no choice.

Fortunately.

Today, Ye Shaohong has already laid the groundwork for his future at the Military Intelligence Bureau and with the bald-headed Chairman.

If that day really comes, and he takes the entire Ye family overseas, I doubt anyone will utter a single word of resentment.

what?

Aren't they afraid that those in power will nip the problem in the bud and eliminate any potential threats?

Don't be angry.

Over the years, Ye Shaohong, relying on his positions as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau's External Division and a standing committee member of the Secretariat, had secretly cultivated a huge power base.

It spans both domestic and international markets and involves multiple fields.

Ye Shaohong already possesses enough strength to protect himself, not to mention that the Ye family patriarch is still alive.

China has a long tradition of gerontocracy.

The connections and relationships an elderly person leaves behind throughout their life are invaluable resources as long as they are still alive.

It is a force that cannot be underestimated.

With the old man and the young man, both veteran ministers of the National Government, in the Ye family, along with a vast amount of money and ample manpower, if they still cannot protect the dozen or so members of the Ye family, then all of Ye Shaohong's hard work over the years will have been in vain.

He could just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it to his death.

Not to mention, after years of continuous nurturing, Ye Shaohong's physical attributes and combat abilities are now unparalleled in this era. Even compared to Yan Shuangying, the invincible marksman and half-human, half-ghost, Ye Shaohong is now fully confident that he can face him head-on.

He was not afraid at all.
