Chapter 372: The Central Bureau of Investigation's Activities in the North
The "one place" mentioned by Lao Ma is an old name that is used by habit. People now call it the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
Although the Military Control Commission appears much more frequently than the KMT in many film and television works, it is hard to say which side has greater power in this year and in the next two to three years.
The Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics currently has much more manpower than Boss Dai, but they are mainly responsible for internal adjustments. Internal adjustments were more important in the past, and he attached great importance to them. After all, he advocated that one must first stabilize the country before resisting foreign aggression.
But as the war progresses, everything now gives way to fighting. Boss Dai has repeatedly obtained important military intelligence, stole the limelight, and seems to have gained the upper hand temporarily.
But the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was not idle either.
They used to focus on the south. For example, in the Battle of Jiangcheng this time, their Hankou Statistics Office made great efforts, but they did not have much influence in the north.
In order to make up for this shortcoming, Deputy Director Xu began to send people to important cities in the north to set up statistical offices (equivalent to stations), and confrontations between the two sides were inevitable in the future.
Lin Ze nodded, "Lao Ma, you just said there were two instructions, what is the second one?"
Lao Ma said in a deep voice: "Team leader, the situation in Jidong may be getting worse. The higher-ups asked us to collect as much information as possible about the Japanese plan to encircle and suppress Jidong, in order to preserve some of the anti-Japanese forces in Jidong."
Lin Ze was a little surprised, "We still have people in Jidong?"
Lin Ze originally thought that the riots in eastern Hebei were all caused by people from the Red Zone, so how could the Military Control Commission be involved?
Old Ma twitched his lips. "The Jinmen Station saw that the people in the Red Zone were making a big fuss in East Hebei, so they thought there was an opportunity, so they formed a team called the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. There were all kinds of people in it, including gangsters from the Green Gang, students, businessmen, and farmers. It can be said that these people are our die-hard supporters in North China, but they were fooled by the Jinmen Station. They attacked the county town and killed the Japanese. Now all their cards are revealed. If they are wiped out by the Japanese, the losses will be huge!"
...................
"If our troops were wiped out by the devils, the losses would be incalculable!"
At Sun's Grocery Store on Chongwenmen Street, the shopkeeper Sun was whispering to Jiao Zhenguo with a sad face.
Jiao Zhenguo looked incredulous, "How could it be so loud?"
Originally, the riot in Jidong was a small-scale attack, such as attacking a small group of Japanese devils, or killing a few traitors as an example to the public.
But I didn't expect that the people in this place were so tough and brave. Once the flag of rebellion was raised, everyone came to join, bringing their own weapons and dry food.
In just over a month, the resistance team in Jidong had grown to more than 100,000 people!
Then, those counties that were left with weak defenses because the main force of the Japanese invaders moved south were captured one after another. After seven or eight counties were captured, even the international community was alarmed. Foreign newspapers were all reporting that the Japanese invaders’ rear had fallen, and the battle in Jiangcheng was likely to bring about new developments!
Now everyone knew that the Japanese were going to send a large number of troops to encircle and suppress us.
To be honest, it was easy for these temporarily organized teams to capture a few counties, but whether in terms of weapons and equipment or combat training, they were far from being the opponents of the Japanese, and the situation became quite serious for a while.
For hundreds of thousands of people, where to go, how to fight, and how to retreat all depend on intelligence support.
Shopkeeper Sun whispered, "The Japanese have very few troops in North China right now, and they have to guard various strategic locations, so the higher-ups want us to find out where the Japanese are trying to transfer troops from, where they plan to attack East Hebei, and what their troop deployment is like."
Jiao Zhenguo said with a bitter face, "I really shouldn't have gone to the detective team at that time. You should have sent me to the front army headquarters!"
Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said, "Old Jiao, I know this is difficult, but there are ways to do it, such as from military supplies..."
...................
After coming out of the snack shop, Lin Ze threw two bags of snacks into the space, then found a place to change clothes and wipe his face.
There was nothing to do in the office in the afternoon, so Lin Ze simply went to the restaurant.
Xiao Jiang Dagui is also here. He is now keen on doing business and rarely goes to the Counterintelligence Department.
This is nothing. The work in the Counterintelligence Department does not require working in the office. Even the team leader Lin Ze does not go. Xiao Jiang Dagui is often not there, but no one will say anything.
Although it is an invitation-only business, the restaurant's business is incredibly good. Some wealthy guys would like to spend every day in this den of luxury.
After all, for today's people's entertainment experience, Sakura Trout Ryokan is still too advanced!
From comfortable bathing, to delicious food, to quiet and comfortable accommodation, you can listen to music and watch plays when you are bored, and you can also go to a special room to try your luck and gamble. The key is that you can make a lot of useful friends in this place.
Simply heaven!
I didn't enter through the main entrance, but took a dedicated passage on the side to avoid most of the guests who were having fun in the front.
As soon as he saw Lin Ze, Xiao Jiang Dagui excitedly introduced a new toy to him.
The area occupied by the restaurant is actually quite large, with a lot of open space. Originally, these places were filled with trees, courtyards, etc. Xiao Jiang Dagui felt that it was unnecessary, too spacious, and would easily affect privacy.
He built many themed dance halls in these places.
"Team leader, I have inquired about the ways of playing in Tianjin and Shanghai. In addition to those who come here to relax alone and attach great importance to privacy and safety, there are also those who come here in groups and like to be lively. At this time, simple hot springs, food and massages cannot satisfy them. So I built these dance halls, used soundproof materials, and there are tables for eating and drinking on both sides. The extended and elevated one in the middle is the stage. It should be nice to eat and drink here while watching the dance on the stage..."
Is he really a genius!
“Where do you get dancers?”
"Team leader, there are many Belarusian women who can't find work. They will jump. I am planning to go to Tianjin to recruit a group. Don't worry, I will ensure safety and the contract will be very strict."
This kind of dance is more like table dance, which can fully show long legs. With some cheerful music, it is really fun to play with a few good friends, and it can also bring people closer together. This feeling cannot be brought by visiting a brothel in the Eight Great Hutongs.
If things continue like this, Xiao Jiang Dagui might become the entertainment godfather who leads the entertainment trends in Peking!
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said, "How about this? We should be very careful with foreign women like this. Otherwise, if the people in Matsuzaki find out, they will be very upset. I will go find a group of them and you don't have to worry about it."
Lin Ze plans to ask Angelina for help. This woman has multiple roles, one of which is to constantly find a "home" for exiled Belarusian girls. Asking her to recruit a group of dancers should be much more reliable.
Afterwards, Lin Ze whispered something to Xiao Jiang Dagui, asking him to pay attention to whether anyone was talking about what was happening in Jidong recently. Then he went to his own private hot spring room and took a comfortable bath.
A girl in a yukata and kimono came in meekly, carrying various fruits and sour plum soup.
This was arranged by Xiao Jiang Dagui and is specifically for serving Lin Ze. No other guests will be received.
I heard that she is from Akita and has very fair and delicate skin.
