Chapter 981 Either a Friend or an Enemy
"Boss, are you willing to cooperate with the Central Bureau of Investigation?" Song Jiayu was a little surprised.
Cooperation, that is Song Jiayu's wishful thinking.
Chen Yang is not that stupid. It was obviously Boss Dai's intention that Zheng Jiemin kicked the ball to him.
The Central Bureau of Investigation and the Military Bureau of Investigation have never been on good terms. The two sides usually fight like a pair of black-eyed chickens. In terms of the degree of badness of their relationship, it is no less serious than the infighting between the Japanese navy and army.
If such a relationship can cooperate, there is only one possibility: the other party has caught you with something.
Considering the bombing of the Military Intelligence Bureau's smuggling ship, it seems that the Central Intelligence Bureau was behind this.
Boss Dai obviously wanted to use Chen Yang to get rid of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
How could Chen Yang not see such a simple method of killing someone with a borrowed knife?
However, if you want to lend him this knife, it depends on whether he is willing.
"Reply to headquarters. We can cooperate with them as ordered. However, there are three requirements."
“No contact, no discussion, no meeting.”
"We only act as an intelligence provider and don't ask any other questions."
"I understand. I'll do it as soon as possible." Song Jiayu replied respectfully.
Shanghai, French Concession.
Ever since the French Concession Municipal Council agreed to sign the contract to return the concession, the entire French Concession has become much more lively than before.
The French no longer had the right to collect customs duties at the Shiliuhang Wharf.
At this time, General Sato of the Military Police Command was discussing with the senior leaders of the Expeditionary Force. No troops had been officially dispatched to take over the taxation affairs of the French Concession. The people who maintained law and order here were the French Concession patrolmen and the Peace and National Construction Army from Nanjing.
The Peaceful National Construction Army is different from the Japanese.
All their supplies were allocated by the Jinling government, and a large part was coordinated by Chief of Staff Chen Yang.
Therefore, after they took over the tax collection work at the wharf, their greedy nature was immediately exposed.
However, taxes are official, and if they want to collect the money privately, they have to find some senior people at the dock.
For example, people from the Green Gang came forward to help them make money.
The French Concession was originally the base camp of the Green Gang, whether it was the former Boss Du or Zhang Xiaolin and the like.
Or the current rising star Ma Yongzhen and Ma Erye, they all make a living in the French Concession.
As a result, several senior members of the Peaceful National Construction Army hit it off with the members of the Green Gang.
Taking advantage of the power vacuum, the Green Gang demanded a certain amount of vehicle and vessel tax. If the gang was unwilling to pay the tax, the Peaceful Nation Building Army would step in to settle it.
The two sides cooperated tacitly, and millions of French francs of income fell into their pockets quietly every day.
Even though a few million French francs may seem like a lot, in today's world, it would only be worth around 20,000 US dollars.
But this little bit of money is already a huge income for the Peaceful Nation Building Army which has no money at all.
In addition to the 30% taken by the superiors and the 20% taken by the Green Gang, each of these soldiers could get more than 20 dollars.
In a house on Pétain Road.
Gu Xiting sat in front of the chessboard, picked up a black chess piece in his right hand, and was reluctant to put it down, as if he was struggling with what to do next.
With a creaking sound.
The door of the room was opened, a figure entered the room very quickly and locked the door.
"Teacher, good news. The Military Control Commission has responded and agreed to cooperate. Your plan has succeeded."
"So simple?" Gu Linhuai seemed a little surprised. According to his judgment, Mr. A should not obey the orders of the top leaders of the Military Control Commission so well.
"Did the other party make any requests?"
Du Xiufeng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Teacher, you are really smart. The other party proposed three conditions: no meeting, no contact, and no discussion."
"The two parties can only communicate through a special mailbox. They are only responsible for providing intelligence and do not ask any other questions."
Gu Linhuai said thoughtfully: "Based on this, Mr. A must have made some kind of deal with the top military officials."
"They were forced to cooperate with us."
Du Xiufeng said respectfully: "Teacher, as long as they are willing to cooperate, it doesn't matter to us whether they are forced or not."
"Heh, you don't understand." Gu Linhuai took out a stack of envelopes from his clothes and threw them aside.
"This is the information sent by Mao Qiwu. It is Mr. A's initial response to Shancheng's action report."
"There are five pieces of intelligence in total. Can you see the problem among them?"
Du Xiufeng opened the envelopes one by one and quickly read through the information inside.
After a while, he shook his head and said, "Teacher, I don't see any problem, but the data above is a little too detailed."
Gu Linhuai put down the chess piece and said, "You are right. This is the biggest problem."
"The Japanese military movements involved in these five intelligence reports were later confirmed to be completely correct."
"They were able to easily grasp the movements of the Japanese army, and the error of various data was almost zero."
"How do you think they did it?"
Du Xiufeng hesitated for a moment, and then he couldn't help but say, "Teacher, you don't think that the intelligence chief of the Military Control Commission is a Japanese, do you?"
Gu Linhuai was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled, "Xiufeng, you should be a storyteller with this brain."
"It seems that you still underestimate the power of the team."
"You think a Japanese person can have access to such critical data, so he must be in a very high position."
"I don't think the Military Control Commission has the ability to bribe the Japanese high-ranking officials."
"Besides, if it were the Japanese, he would not compromise with the Military Control Commission."
Du Xiufeng smiled awkwardly and said, "Teacher, I really don't understand what you mean."
Gu Linhuai was silent for a while, picked up the chess piece, and moved it to the seventeenth or eighth position without hesitation, and said slowly: "Sun Tzu's Art of War says, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. If you know yourself but not the enemy, you will win one and lose one. If you don't know yourself and the enemy, you will be in danger after a hundred battles."
"This time we are working together. If we can find out each other's background, having more friends may not be a bad thing."
Du Xiufeng hesitated for a moment and said: "Teacher, if the other party doesn't think so, then we..."
Gu Linhuai's hands trembled noticeably.
"If it's not a friend, it can only be an enemy."
"Xiufeng, it is terrible to have such an enemy, so if we can only make enemies, I will do everything I can to send them to see God."
"Of course, I don't hope that day will ever come. Since the other party has agreed to cooperate, let's pass on the intelligence we need to him first."
After saying that, Gu Linhuai took out a note that he had written long ago.
Du Xiufeng took it and looked at it, wondering, "Isn't this level of information too easy for Mr. A?"
Gu Linhuai chuckled and said, "Xiufeng, we still need some time to get to know each other. Trust takes time."
