The War of Resistance Against Japan: Special Operations Battalion Traverses Shanghai and Slaughters

Just as Song Xiaoan and his two companions left, Li Bin, the political commissar of the Southeast Army, came to find Long Fei with a document in his hand.

"Commander Long, all the high-ranking traitors under Wang Jingwei in Shanghai have been arrested and interrogated overnight. This is the list and the interrogation records."

Long Fei originally didn't want to investigate; he never showed leniency towards these traitors.

But for some reason, Long Fei actually took the list and started looking through it.

Long Fei nodded as he watched; all the traitors had been captured in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, Long Fei hummed in agreement.

"Li Bin, didn't you look at this list?"

"I just glanced at it after it was handed over to me. Anyway, they're all traitors, so it doesn't matter whether I look at it or not."

At that moment, Long Fei punched Li Bin in the chest.

"You little brat, you almost made me make a mistake. Look at this list, who is this person?"

Li Bin leaned closer, looking at the spot Long Fei was pointing to.

Upon seeing this, Li Bin exclaimed in surprise.

"Damn it, the imposters, Ming Lou and Ming Cheng, how come they're on the list?"

Long Fei then laughed and said, "Impersonators, hahaha, this is fun! Li Bin, go and bring them here quickly, I want to see them."

"Yes, Commander Long, I'll go right away."

Within ten minutes, Li Bin brought Minglou and Mingcheng to Long Fei's place.

"Reporting to Commander Long, Minglou and Mingcheng have arrived."

Long Fei chuckled and immediately got up to walk towards the two of them.

Upon arriving in front of them, Long Fei extended his hand.

"Mr. Ming, Acheng, hello, I am Long Fei, the commander of the Longyan People's Army."

Minglou calmly shook hands with Long Fei: "Commander Long, hello. We know you hate the Japanese and traitors very much. I wonder why you called us two traitors here?"

At this moment, besides Ming Lou and Ming Cheng, only Li Bin was in the room.

Therefore, Long Fei doesn't need to hold back at all when he speaks.

“Mr. Minglou, on the surface you are the chief financial advisor of the Economic Department of the Ministry of Finance of the Wang Jingwei regime, the deputy director of the Special Committee, and the chief inspector of the Customs Administration of the new government.”

"But secretly, you are the colonel and head of the intelligence section of the Military Intelligence Bureau in Shanghai, codenamed Viper. Even after the Military Intelligence Bureau became the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, your position has not changed in essence."

Minglou was completely shocked when Long Fei casually revealed his hidden identity.

"Commander Long, how did you know?"

Long Fei smiled calmly and said, "I also know your other identity: the head of the underground party intelligence group in Shanghai, Yan'an, codenamed 'Cobra'."

"This... Commander Long, how... how do you know so much about me?"

Minglou was truly panicked now, because he was always cautious and careful, and it was impossible for him to expose his identity.

But if he wasn't exposed, how could the Supreme Commander of the Dragon Flame People's Army know so much about him?

Seeing that Minglou was in disarray, Long Fei quickly comforted him.

“Mr. Ming, don’t be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards you. It is precisely because I know your other two identities that you have been able to avoid being executed as a traitor this time.”

"Commander Long, so what's the meaning of you summoning me here...?"

Minglou was very clever. He figured that since Longfei knew all about his identity and still invited him to meet, there must be a reason behind it.

Long Fei gestured for the two to sit down before slowly continuing his speech.

"All the Japanese devils on Chinese soil have been wiped out, and all the traitors such as Wang Jingwei have been arrested and will soon be executed."

"In the current situation, if Mr. Ming, as a high-ranking figure in the Wang Jingwei regime, is not executed but instead remains unscathed, it will certainly attract criticism."

"I'd like to ask, Mr. Ming, what are your plans?"

Minglou thought for a moment and said truthfully, "Now that the Japanese have been wiped out, the identity of our government's undercover agent can be made public."

"In this way, it is only natural that I am safe and sound. I am not only not a traitor, but I have also become a hero on the underground front."

Long Fei nodded, signaling Ming Lou to continue.

“Once my identity is revealed, I can return to work within the Nationalist government and continue to provide valuable intelligence to Yan’an.”

After Minglou finished speaking, Longfei understood his true thoughts.

"Mr. Ming, I have a suggestion that I hope you will consider."

"Commander Long, please speak."

“My Longyan Kingdom has just been established, and we have obtained the consent of Yan’an in advance.”

"Hiss..." Minglou gasped, staring intently at Long Fei for a long time before asking.

"Commander Long, may I ask what your relationship is with Yan'an?"

"To put it this way, my Longyan Kingdom and the Longyan People's Army are no different from Yan'an."

"what……"

Long Fei ignored Ming Lou's surprise and continued speaking.

"My suggestion to Mr. Ming is that you come to my Longyan Kingdom and serve as the Vice Minister of Finance, in charge of the Economic Department and the Tax Department."

“If you are willing, I will coordinate with Yan’an. And frankly speaking, I think this position will allow you to make better use of your expertise and abilities than if you were to become an underground intelligence agent.”

Minglou's first reaction upon hearing this was that he didn't want to agree.

"Commander Long, if I may be frank, I have learned about your Dragon Flame Kingdom before. It is actually just two small islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean."

"For a country of this size, there's no need to set up so many national-level institutions, and I'm not particularly interested in them either."

Long Fei anticipated that Ming Lou would refuse, because his understanding of Longyan Kingdom was only superficial, like most people's.

Long Fei responded boldly, "Mr. Ming, although my Longyan Kingdom is just a small country, it has the world in its heart."

“With the world in his heart…” Minglou looked into Long Fei’s deep eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"That's right, it's the whole world. I want to revitalize the Chinese nation, expand the territory of China, wash away the century of humiliation of China, and make China take off again, becoming a great empire that the world can look up to."

"To realize my dream, in addition to military talent, I also need the assistance of elites from other fields."

"Mr. Ming, would you be willing to work with me to achieve this grand vision?"

Minglou's blood boiled at Long Fei's emotional words. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time before slowly raising his head and answering firmly.

"Alright, just based on your ability to grow from the initial 800 elite soldiers to a million-strong army in just two years, not only annihilating more than a million Japanese invaders who invaded China, but also taking back the territory ceded by the Qing Dynasty from Russia."

"My Minglou and the Ming family are willing to give our all and be loyal to each other."

Upon hearing this, Long Fei excitedly replied, "Mr. Ming is right. Welcome to the Longyan Kingdom. I don't need you or the Ming family to give us your all; I just need everyone to be loyal and devoted to each other."

"By the way, Mr. Mingcheng, you will continue to be your special assistant. Your sister Mingjing and brother Mingtai, as well as your cousin Mingtang, are all rare patriots and talents. If you are willing to join us, I would be more than happy to welcome you."

Minglou readily nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell them."

At this moment, Li Bin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"On the night of the celebration for the founding of No. 76, we attacked them. I want to ask if Wang Manchun was there that night?"

Mingcheng then answered on behalf of Minglou: "So it was your doing. Wang Manchun met the same fate as everyone who participated in the celebration. She was not only blown up, but also burned to ashes."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Li Bin smiled.

"Haha, Commander Long said back then that this time we would not only be in charge of the killing, but also the cremation."
