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

Chapter 726 Double Happiness

Who is this heartless and insane person?

Jiang Zaizhen.

The commander of the New 8th Division in the Battle of Xuzhou was a man whose historical reputation was extremely polarized, with his crimes outweighing his faults, yet he also made significant contributions during the War of Resistance against Japan.

He suggested to the bald-headed leader that the Huayuankou Dam be destroyed to flood the Yellow River flood area, thus preventing the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army from continuing its southward advance and buying favorable time for the national war of resistance.

Jiang Zaizhen's suggestion can be described as outrageous.

If the Huayuankou dike is indeed destroyed, innocent people on both sides of the Yellow River floodplain will lose their homes.

Countless people would perish in the raging river. According to later statistics, after the Huayuankou dike was destroyed, more than 80 people died on both banks of the Yellow River flood zone.

Countless people have been displaced.

But was he wrong?

From a purely human perspective, he was terribly wrong, and killing him a thousand times over would not be an exaggeration.

However, from another perspective, in terms of the overall strategic layout, Jiang Zaizhen's plan is actually correct.

A kind heart cannot command an army.

After the bombing of Huayuankou, the Yangtze River surged downstream, and the strategic deployment of the North China Expeditionary Army completely failed.

The Nationalist government sacrificed the lives of over 80 innocent civilians to buy crucial time for the overall war effort across the country.

The vast territory of the Northwest was preserved.

The Battle of Jiangcheng, which should have broken out much earlier, was delayed for several months due to the destruction of the Huayuankou dike. During these months, the Nationalist government mobilized troops from across the country to build a new strategic defense line in the core area of ​​Central China, successfully preventing the Japanese from completely destroying the Nationalist government and the Chinese nation.

From a macro perspective, this plan was almost tantamount to saving China.

However, it was the innocent people on both sides of the Yellow River flood zone who suffered the disaster.

Unaware and unaware, they became pawns in the power struggle at the top, and casualties of the Hanfu Qu's retreat without a fight.

The faults of Hanbok are too numerous to recount.

In order to preserve his strength, he fled alone, almost completely destroying the entire nation of China.

It almost led to the extinction of our Chinese nation.

Afterwards, Han Fuqu also suffered the consequences. He became the highest-ranking military officer personally ordered to be executed by Chiang Kai-shek after the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War.

But this is too lenient on him. More than 80 innocent people died tragically in the Yellow River flood zone, and vast tracts of land were lost in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Henan provinces.

Families from three provinces that fell to the enemy.

After the Japanese occupied the three provinces, they carried out brutal plundering and killing for several years.

How many more will die during this period?

There are simply too many to count.

It's like a domino effect; once the first domino falls, it triggers a chain reaction.

If not stopped in time, the entire long line will collapse completely.

Although he did not betray his country, the harm he caused to the Chinese nation is extremely rare throughout history.

As for Jiang Zaizhen...

Whether this ruthless man who proposed this insane plan, this incompetent villain whose merits and demerits cannot be judged, ever regretted his decision in the years that followed is unknown.

All that is known is that during the later War of Resistance against Japan, he fought in many provinces and personally commanded and participated in several direct battles against the Japanese invaders.

He personally led his troops in the later Battle of Jiangcheng and the Battle of Central Henan.

Jiang Zaizhen's troops achieved remarkable results.

In addition, he led his troops in many battles to counterattack the Japanese invaders, including the defensive battles of Yumen and Donglongmen Mountain. In these battles, Jiang Zaizhen demonstrated outstanding command ability and a brave and fearless spirit of sacrifice.

Despite the enormous sacrifices his troops made, they successfully repelled the Japanese attacks.

This achievement was quite remarkable, especially considering that many Nationalist government troops often fled without a fight during the Anti-Japanese War.

After the war ended, Jiang Zaizhen resigned from his official post and returned to his hometown in Guizhou Province. He ultimately died at the hands of the people.

It's really hard to say anything about him.

……

At this time, it was May of the 27th year of the Republic of China in the mountain city.

That is, 1938 in the Gregorian calendar.

According to Dai Yunong's initial plan, he originally intended to separate the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics from the Military Commission in April and establish it as an independent bureau.

He also gave Ye Shaohong a very, very long vacation.

Human planning can never keep up with change.

What is the Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics? It is the core of the Nationalist government's intelligence network.

This is also the core base of the Chen brothers, Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu.

These two brothers have a deep background and strong backing in the Nationalist government. Dai Yunong wanted to separate the Special Service Department into an independent bureau, and then put it on equal footing with the Party Affairs Investigation Bureau that they controlled. How could the Chen brothers possibly agree to such a thing?

The CC Clique, which they control, would never agree to that.

The Chen family was one of the four major families in the Republic of China.

They also had close ties with the bald-headed Chiang Kai-shek, and the Chen brothers had a deep friendship with the president of the Examination Yuan, one of the five major courts during the Republic of China era.

With the combined efforts of many parties, Dai Yunong's plan to separate the Special Service Department into an independent bureau was shelved.

Although it hasn't completely failed, it seems like it's still a long way off before it can continue to make progress.

In this way, Dai Yunong's order for Ye Shaohong to recuperate became a joke.

Neither of them knew when it would end.

However, Ye Shaohong did not come away empty-handed.

In the past few months, he accomplished two major life events: he got married and became pregnant.

Ye Shaohong's wedding caused quite a stir.

The Ye family patriarch was originally a senior member of the National Government and had served as the personal bodyguard of the Father of the Nation. He had extensive connections in the upper echelons of the National Government.

Ye Shaohong was also a promising young man who made a name for himself in the Nationalist government through his own abilities.

The title "Seventh King of Hell" may sound harsh, but it's a name forged in iron and blood.

In addition, his book "Wolf and Dog," which he wrote himself, was appreciated by many high-ranking officials in the Nationalist government. The Sino-Japanese War that broke out in the past year or two also confirmed the predictions made by Ye Shaohong in the book.

As a result, many high-ranking officials from the Nationalist government attended Ye Shaohong's wedding.

Dean Dai, one of the five major institutes, Commander Chen, known as the "Little Leader," and Commander Li, the "Little Zhuge Liang," all personally visited the Ye family to attend Ye Shaohong's wedding ceremony.

Dai Yunong and Mao Renfeng also came.

Xu Enzeng, known as a trainer of Red Party undercover agents, also came to the Party Affairs Investigation Department.

Even the bald-headed chairman personally wrote an inscription wishing the Ye family a long and happy marriage, which he then had his trusted subordinate, the head of the aide's office, deliver to the Ye family.

It can be said that it enjoyed a period of great success.

Not long after their marriage, thanks to Ye Shaohong's hard work and Yu Manli's unbearable cursing, the Ye family finally received their second piece of good news.

Yu Manli is pregnant.

Or, to put it another way, Yu Manli's days of both joy and pain have finally come to an end.

She can rest now.

Finally, she was no longer tormented by Ye Shaohong's wolfish body and finally got a year's worth of respite.

For a time, the Ye family was doubly blessed.

Everyone was happy.

At this time, Ye Shaohong temporarily forgot about his inability to go to work and spent his days taking care of the pregnant woman at home, waiting for the birth of their precious child.

Unfortunately, an accident happened.

At the end of May 1938, a Japanese spy named Tsuda Shimashiki, who was working undercover at the Special Service Headquarters in Luojiawan, suddenly took the initiative to visit.

He confessed his identity to the Secret Service headquarters.

He also told me that he had a list of Japanese agents from the Shanghai Special Higher Police Department who had infiltrated the mountain city.

They also know the whereabouts of the highest-ranking commander of the infiltrators in the mountain city.

Tsudajima Ishi's voluntary surrender delighted and excited Dai Yunong and Mao Renfeng. Dai Yunong even personally received Tsudajima Ishi.

He promised generous benefits in an attempt to win Tsudajimashi's favor and get him to reveal all the information he knew.

So that he could seize this amazing achievement and go to the bald-headed chairman to claim credit and reward.

But the result disappointed Dai Yunong.

After Tsudajima Ishi entered the new headquarters of the Luojiawan Special Service Agency, he only briefly mentioned the clues he had gathered and then fell silent.

Even when personally recruited by Dai Yunong, the head of the Special Service Department, Tsudajima Ishi did not budge.

He only made one condition.

He let Ye Shaohong handle his affairs personally, and he would only tell Ye Shaohong the information he knew.

This result infuriated Dai Yunong. He felt that he had been slighted and insulted by Tsudajima Ishi.

Back in his office, Dai Yunong slammed his fist on the table and unleashed a torrent of profanities.

But what can he do?

Tsudajima Ishi surrendered voluntarily; he couldn't very well torture someone to extract a confession.

If he were to do that, and word got out, where would any enemy personnel come to serve him in the future?

Then his reputation would be completely ruined.

After much deliberation, Dai Yunong finally gritted his teeth and called Ye Shaohong, asking him to immediately assume the position of deputy director of the second division, to take a break and get to work right away.

We must take over the case of Tsudajima Ishi's defection immediately and extract all the information he possesses in the shortest possible time.

We must quickly eliminate all Japanese spies and infiltrators in the mountain city...
