Chapter 192 A Poisonous Scheme
The assassination operation orchestrated by the Party Affairs Investigation Department was actually carried out by a woman?
That's quite novel.
Ye Shaohong doesn't look down on women. In this era, there are many, many smart, witty, brave, and strong women.
For example, the Soong sisters, Qi Junfeng, Ba Yunying, Zhao Yiman...
Among the outlaws of the martial world, there are also figures like Lin Guisheng and Zheng Yumin...
It can be said that during the Republican era, women gradually began to hold up half the sky.
What truly surprised Ye Shaohong was that in the numerous spy dramas and war dramas he had watched, the Party Affairs Investigation Department, or what later became known as the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, rarely featured strong female agents. So who was this woman?
Could it be a powerful woman who has never appeared in spy dramas but actually existed in history?
Moreover, it has become so powerful that even Zheng Yaoxian has difficulty catching its trace.
"It is indeed a woman!"
"I didn't get this information myself; it was Director Xu Baichuan who found it out through other channels."
"There is no doubt about the accuracy of the information. The difficulty lies in the fact that we only know this one clue at the moment."
Zheng Yaoxian didn't elaborate, but Ye Shaohong could roughly guess that the so-called other channels were probably the people Xu Baichuan had planted within the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
It's nothing new for the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (MBIS) to infiltrate each other's networks.
Xu Baichuan was a veteran from the early days of the Special Service Department, so it's understandable that he planned ahead. "It was indeed very troublesome."
Ye Shaohong nodded, sipping his tea while frowning and pondering how to break the deadlock.
To be honest, he didn't have any good solutions either.
In terms of establishment time, the Party Affairs Investigation Department was established earlier than the "Ten-Man Group," an early organization of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Moreover, they had the support of the Chen brothers and the CC Clique in terms of personnel and financial resources.
Until the early 1938, when the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Zhongtong) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (Juntong) were first established, the Zhongtong had a larger personnel force than the Juntong.
Even in the early days, when the Special Service was first established, it still had to rely on the Party Affairs Investigation Department for many things.
Take communication networks, for example.
Before 1935, the Special Service used the communication radio of the Party Affairs Investigation Department to contact its stations and undercover teams across the country.
During that period, Dai Yunong and Xu Enzeng had a brief period of sweetness. The two even became sworn brothers.
However, Dai Yunong was cunning. After realizing the importance of the communication network, he hatched a scheme and secretly poached a communications genius from the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
It was because of this incident that Dai Yunong and Xu Enzeng fell out.
Many more things happened afterward, which gradually led the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (CBIS) and the Military Bureau of Investigation and Statistics (MBIS) to become irreconcilable enemies.
far away.
The current Party Affairs Investigation Department alone is full of talented people.
Of course, it could also be said to be full of loopholes.
However, one thing is undeniable: the Party Affairs Investigation Department should not be underestimated.
"There is a way to find her."
"But this method is a bit too insidious, we can't decide." After pondering for a moment, Ye Shaohong finally came up with a solution that wasn't really a solution, and he hesitated whether to tell it to others.
"Oh?"
"Tell me."
"If it really works, we can report things we can't decide to higher authorities."
"Let Director Xu and Director Xu make the decision."
"Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. Even if something really happens, we won't have to take the blame."
Ye Shaohong's words piqued Zheng Yaoxian's curiosity. He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and looked at Ye Shaohong with great interest.
Clearly, he also wanted to figure out how Ye Shaohong had found a solution in such a short time, given the predicament he himself was unable to resolve.
"Actually, this isn't difficult at all." "Zheng Ke, have you ever thought about what the Party Affairs Investigation Department's fundamental basis is?"
Ye Shaohong did not directly explain his method, but instead chose to guide people step by step, because he simply could not say these words out loud.
"What is the fundamental basis of the Party Affairs Investigation Department?"
"The Red Party?"
Zheng Yaoxian is so smart. Ye Shaohong only gave him a little guidance, and he immediately found the root of the problem.
"You mean, we should temporarily set aside the idea of finding that woman and instead assassinate those in the Party Affairs Investigation Department who are good at cracking down on and hunting down Red Party members, so that we can provoke the higher-ups in the Party Affairs Investigation Department to put pressure on the woman who is in charge of the assassination operation and force her out of the shadows?"
Even with Zheng Yaoxian's calm and collected nature, his heart couldn't help but pound violently after he saw through Ye Shaohong's scheme.
He swallowed hard repeatedly. His expression instantly turned serious.
To be honest, Zheng Yaoxian was very interested when he first heard Ye Shaohong's plan.
After all, besides being the head of the Military Section of the Second Division of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, he also had another identity: he was "Kite," a strategic-level undercover agent of the Red Party.
During his years of working undercover, he witnessed many of his comrades fall into the hands of the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Most of these people eventually sacrificed their lives.
It would be a lie to say that Zheng Yaoxian didn't hate them; if given the chance, he would definitely want to avenge his comrades.
But he can't do that.
If he actually did it, he would inevitably be suspected and scrutinized.
His undercover mission may also be a complete failure, and all the sacrifices the organization made for it will be in vain.
But Ye Shaohong's idea this time gave him the opportunity to take revenge.
If this plan could gain the approval of Xu Baichuan or even Dai Yunong, it would be tantamount to obtaining an imperial edict, allowing him to legitimately eliminate those executioners within the Party Affairs Investigation Department.
Perhaps during this time, he might also be able to complete some tasks and rescue some of his comrades.
It can be said to have many benefits.
However, every advantage has its disadvantages. Although the two parties have now cooperated, the Nationalist government's policy has not changed.
If Zheng Yaoxian really reports Ye Shaohong's plan, even if the plan was proposed by Ye Shaohong, he, as the middleman, will inevitably be noticed.
The more attention and suspicion he receives, the greater the risk of exposure he faces.
This choice, weighing the pros and cons, is difficult.
Even Zheng Yaoxian fell into a brief moment of contemplation. Ye Shaohong knew his thoughts and concerns, so after thinking it over, Ye Shaohong still felt that he should take the initiative to step forward.
"Or... should I go find Director Xu?"
Don't underestimate these few simple words; the risks involved are immeasurable.
More importantly, once Dai Yunong and his group become suspicious, the timeline of this risk could be extended to several years or even more than a decade.
Throughout these long years, Ye Shaohong was always at risk of falling into dangerous situations because of this one sentence.
"no!"
“You are too young to shoulder this responsibility. If it really needs to be reported, then I should be the one to take the blame.”
"I need to think about this matter carefully. I will let you know once I have made a decision..."
