Chapter 701: Golden Buddha Never Takes Advantage of Other Opportunities
Chapter 701: Golden Buddha Never Takes Advantage of Other Opportunities
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in!"
Mao Dafeng adjusted her expression and walked into Boss Dai's office.
"Commander, the Tianjin Station sent a telegram saying that the troops have recovered somewhat. Recently, they discovered that the editor-in-chief of Yishi Daily, Wu Yimin, has been active and boasted about the so-called East Asian Co-prosperity. Many people believe it, so the Tianjin Station intends to eliminate him."
"Oh? Jinmen's vitality has recovered?"
If other stations sent this kind of telegram, it would never reach Boss Dai, so I replied as follows.
Because this is a routine inquiry. A character like Wu Yimin is not a big deal, but he is not a small matter either. Since he wants to carry out the assassination, the headquarters will generally support him.
Only when assassinating figures of the same level as Wang Kemin and Wang Jingwei would Boss Dai personally command the operation.
But this time, after listening to the request from Tianjin, Boss Dai was not impatient at all, but rather quite interested.
"It shouldn't be that fast to recover, but Jin Fo should have a few people under his command, who must be eager to prove the success of his reorganization of Jinmen Station."
Boss Dai waved his hand and said, "Dafeng, when we do things, we must focus on the results. No matter whether they have already reorganized or are being forced to do something, the fact that Jinmen Station has received this telegram at least shows that they have regained the ability to take action. How long has it been? This Jinfo is really a talent. I have said it before, what is the most important thing nowadays? Talent is the most important!"
"That's what you said."
"Send a telegram to Jinmen Station to approve their actions. In the future, similar actions can be arranged by them on their own without having to report to the headquarters."
If jealousy makes people twisted, then Mao Dafeng has become a twisted dough stick now.
"Tianjin Station also requested...requested instructions to use emergency contact methods to establish contact with the Anti-Traitor Group. Director, isn't Jinfo a bit too hasty? The Anti-Traitor Group is of a special nature, and there are too many bigwigs involved behind the scenes. I'm worried..."
Boss Dai also frowned.
The so-called emergency contact usually involves broadcasting specific codes on shortwave radio stations, or publishing articles in newspapers with long-agreed code words.
For example, in the TV series Hidden, the superiors often used the shortwave station to contact Mount Emei, especially on the eve of liberation, and tried to make him evacuate by repeated broadcasts.
"The Anti-Traitor Group... Is it necessary to send out the Anti-Traitor Group to kill a traitorous intellectual? When did Jin Fo become so cautious?"
Boss Dai paced with his hands behind his back, "No, this is Jin Fo's test! He is still worried, but since I am going to use him, I have to use him well. What's the point of testing him over and over again? He didn't discuss the conditions with me, but asked Jinmen Station to send a telegram. He is a man of sense. Haha, you telegraph Jinmen Station, we will help them contact the Anti-Traitor Group. Dafeng, don't worry, Jin Fo wants trust and attitude. He won't think about the connections behind the Anti-Traitor Group."
When Mao Dafeng heard this, she felt that what Boss Dai said made sense.
But on second thought, it seems that’s not the case?
From a group staying behind in Peking to now being in control of Tianjin Station, has this Golden Buddha ever failed to take advantage of any opportunity?
Just look at how often he applies for funding from the headquarters!
But since Boss Dai had spoken, Mao Dafeng had no choice but to carry out his orders. After leaving Boss Dai's office, Mao Dafeng went to the telecommunications room.
Facing Xiao Wang's chattering again, Mao Dafeng's face twisted into a ball of pain.
...................
Wu Yimin is in his forties.
He always wore a long gown, had neatly combed hair, a thick and carefully trimmed beard, and wore black-framed round glasses.
He speaks slowly and gently, and if you only look at his appearance and manner, no one would guess that he is a traitorous scholar who is extremely flattering.
This person studied in Japan. After returning, he had no special talents and no strong connections, so he could not get promoted or make money like other overseas students. He could only work in a newspaper in the Japanese Concession.
Since returning from studying abroad, he has become a different person, advocating the civilization of Japan and the backwardness of China, and publishing a large number of articles of this kind.
Because of this action, he was noticed by the then Chief of the Military Police.
After the fall of Peiping and Tianjin, the Japanese closed down several newspapers that refused to cooperate with their propaganda, and then asked Wu Yimin to establish the so-called Yi Shi Bao.
This Yishi newspaper not only touts the East Asian Co-Prosperity Belt, but also frequently organizes activities, especially exhibitions for primary and secondary school students, to publicize Japan's major "contributions" to the construction of the East Asian Co-Prosperity Belt.
As a result, Wu Yimin became a celebrity among traitors.
Like many celebrities, Wu Yimin has a very regular schedule.
First I slept until noon, drank tea and had a snack, then went to take a bath.
After feeling relaxed and refreshed in the bath, I started to make appointments with people to play mahjong.
After eight rounds, it was time for evening socializing.
Sometimes he would even have two or three drinks, then find a brothel and smoke opium with the girl.
After having enough fun, he would go back to the publishing house to write articles. In the early hours of the morning, after the articles were finished and sent to the printer, he would go home to sleep.
Assassinating such a person is as easy as killing a chicken.
That night Wu Yimin went out for social events as usual.
The venue was set at Dengying Tower, and the host was a local wealthy man from the southern suburbs who wanted to send his son to study abroad in Japan. He somehow found Wu Yimin's connection and wanted to ask Editor-in-Chief Wu to make plans for him.
Generally speaking, cultured people like Editor-in-Chief Wu do not like dealing with nouveau riche, as they feel it would be cheap. However, the latter was too generous and asked a middleman to give him a jade hat and two sets of precious study treasures before they even met.
Although Editor-in-Chief Wu is a man of letters, writers also have to eat. Living in a big house, keeping maids, marrying concubines, and driving a car all cost money. Of course, he will not go against money.
After trying to figure out his stance, he finally agreed to attend the banquet.
The rented car drove to Dengying Building, and the waiter ran out to open the door, "Editor-in-Chief Wu, you are here, the guests are waiting for you in the private room upstairs."
Wu Yimin nodded modestly but did not give any reward money.
The young man was used to it. This grandson was a notoriously miserly person. Don't even think about getting a penny from him.
I walked into the restaurant and a waiter led me upstairs.
There were three people in the box, one was the local rich man who invited guests, one was the local rich man's son, and the other was someone specially invited to accompany the guests. This person also had a prominent background and worked in the Tianjin Municipal Government.
When they saw Wu Yimin coming, the three of them stood up to greet him.
Wu Yimin was polite, shaking hands with everyone, and then ordered, "Open the windows. It's too hot, and there's no wind at night. Opening the windows will give you some fresh air."
The local rich man quickly opened the window himself.
Across the street is also Dengyinglou’s property, a two-story building that only accommodates very distinguished guests.
Coincidentally, there was also a table of people eating on the opposite floor, with the windows also open. The person sitting in the head seat was none other than Zhou Xuejin.
