Chapter 1903 Deep Blue Secret Telegram
"Tell me about it." Dai Chunfeng sat down in a chair, picked up the hot water bottle on the table, placed one hand on the hot water bottle, pressed his temples with his right hand, and leaned back in his chair, letting out a tired sigh.
"The telegram from the Shanghai district says that a mysterious person has warned all units in the Shanghai district and informed them of Chen Gongshu's defection to the enemy," Qi Wu said. "I believe that this mysterious person is Xiao Mian's Special Intelligence Department."
Dai Chunfeng nodded slightly; he thought so too.
"How did Xiao Mian find out the contact addresses of various units in the Shanghai area?" Dai Chunfeng asked with a serious expression.
Qi Wu's expression also froze.
……
Cheng Qianfan rejected the Shanghai region and resolutely prevented any horizontal contact between his department and the Shanghai region.
Of course, the truth is that Cheng Qianfan was very cautious, worried that horizontal connections would bring huge security risks.
Dai Chunfeng sometimes jokingly said in private that Cheng Qianfan was afraid that the Shanghai branch would implicate him because of the repeated troubles that had happened there.
In fact, Dai Chunfeng greatly appreciated and was pleased with Cheng Qianfan's actions.
That junior from his hometown, a fellow villager, put his mind at ease.
……
Now, the Shanghai Special Intelligence Bureau is very likely to have direct access to the addresses of various units in the Shanghai area. This is not only hard to explain, but more broadly speaking, it is a double standard, which is 'deceiving the emperor'.
"Director," Qi Wu said after thinking for a moment, "I think there must be a reason for this."
He said to Dai Chunfeng, "Based on our understanding of Xiao Mian, he would never hide anything from you, Director, let alone something so important."
Upon hearing this, Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly, but ultimately said nothing more.
Qi Wu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he couldn't let this favor go unrewarded. Next time he saw Cheng Qianfan, he would make sure the kid knew that he had put in a good word for him at headquarters.
This favor must be done openly.
……
Dai Chunfeng picked up the telegram, glanced at it a few more times, put it down, and then glanced at Qi Wu.
He didn't mind Qi Wu speaking up for Cheng Qianfan; on the contrary, he quite approved of it, after all, Qi Wu was a junior from his hometown.
Of course, this is also because Qi Wu speaks with great tact. The words he said to Cheng Qianfan were from a very delicate and balanced perspective, and he was just saying a "fair word," not acting as a guarantor.
Qi Wu has struck a very good balance.
"Director, the telegrams from the Shanghai area have arrived. If that mysterious person is from the Special Affairs Bureau, I reckon the telegram from Xiao Mian's side should arrive soon as well," Qi Wu said.
"Go ahead." Dai Chunfeng nodded, indicating that Qi Wu should go and keep watch at the telecommunications office.
……
"What about the Shanghai area..." Qi Wu hesitated slightly before speaking.
"We'll talk about it once the telegram from the Special Affairs Department arrives," Dai Chunfeng said.
"clear."
After Qi Wu left, Dai Chunfeng's expression changed repeatedly. Suddenly, he swept his hands across the table, knocking the documents off to the ground.
Although he had not yet received a telegram from the Special Intelligence Bureau, Dai Chunfeng was already highly inclined to believe that the alarm call from the Shanghai area was made by the Special Intelligence Bureau, which also indicated that the intelligence about Chen Gongshu's defection to the enemy was very likely true.
Chen Gongshu was one of his top generals.
He was a general whom he valued highly.
When Vietnam assassinated Wang in Hanoi, he entrusted such an important task to Chen Gongshu, which shows his high regard and trust in Chen Gongshu.
The assassination attempt on Wang Jingwei in Hanoi failed, and the Chairman was furious, berating him severely.
He did not hold a grudge against Chen Gongshu because of this.
Instead, he continued to entrust Chen Gongshu with important responsibilities and trust, even entrusting him with the Shanghai district, the largest regional unit of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Is this how Chen Gongshu is repaying Dai Yunong's trust?
"Director." Hearing the noise, the guard hurriedly pushed the door open and came in.
"Get out," Dai Chunfeng said coldly.
"Yes."
……
When Qi Wu returned to Dai Chunfeng's office, the documents on the desk had been restored to their original state, and the floor was spotless.
“Director,” Qi Wu said, “Xiao Mian is calling.”
Dai Chunfeng snatched the telegram and began to read it.
His expression gradually softened, and he nodded frequently.
"Director, the matter is clear now. Xiao Mian obtained the addresses of various units in Shanghai by intercepting their housing rental contracts," Qi Wu said. "That's why he was able to promptly call and warn the units."
"Yao Changgen died a good death! Xiao Mian did a good job, very timely." Dai Chunfeng nodded. "Xiao Mian deserves credit!"
Qi Wu nodded in agreement. "If the Special Affairs Division hadn't killed Yao Changgen in time, and more importantly, obtained the lease agreement before No. 76, then all the units in the Shanghai area would have been in danger."
“When Xiao Mian made his move against Yao Changgen, Chen Gongshu should still be alive,” Dai Chunfeng said suddenly after some thought.
“Your Excellency is wise,” Qi Wu said immediately.
……
Chen Gongshu is a living map. With Chen Gongshu leading the way, No. 76 should have already started arresting people in various departments in Shanghai. The value of the housing rental contracts of various units in Shanghai that Yao Changgen has in his possession will be greatly reduced.
"According to Fu Liao's telegram, currently, apart from the Second Office of the District Government, which has been confirmed to have an incident, the situation in other units in the Shanghai area is still being verified," Qi Wu said. "This indicates that the situation has not reached its worst point."
"It seems that Chen Gongshu offered some resistance during the enemy's interrogation after his capture," Dai Chunfeng said.
“That should be the case,” Qi Wu said.
It was precisely because Chen Gongshen withstood the torture for a period of time that Xiao Mian had time to warn other units.
"It seems that Chen Gongshu had just defected to the enemy, and the Special Intelligence Department had already learned of his defection. They immediately alerted all units in the Shanghai area. If it had been any later, Chen Gongshu would have directly led the Seventy-Sixth Unit to take action against each unit," Qi Wu thought to himself.
“Xiao Mian obtained the housing rental contracts of various units in the Shanghai area and learned crucial intelligence about Chen Gongshu’s defection to the enemy,” Dai Chunfeng said. “Why didn’t he immediately call to ask for instructions, but instead took it upon himself to contact various departments in the Shanghai area?”
Qi Wu frowned upon hearing this.
……
"Or, why didn't that kid report it immediately after alerting the various departments in the Shanghai region? Instead, the telegram from the Shanghai region arrived before his?" Dai Chunfeng said.
"I don't know about that," Qi Wu said with a wry smile. "Perhaps there are some reasons..."
He knew what Dai Chunfeng was unhappy about. It wasn't even because Cheng Qianfan had acted without reporting to headquarters for approval. After all, it was clear from the telegram how urgent and dangerous the situation in Shanghai was. Time was of the essence, and it was understandable to act expediently in an emergency.
The main reason Dai Chunfeng was unhappy, or rather angry, was that Xiao Mian's telegram was later than the telegram from the Shanghai area. The work was all done, but he didn't send a telegram to report in time, which was very inappropriate.
……
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
"Director, this is a secret telegram from Deep Blue." Mao Shun presented a telegram with both hands.
Qi Wu stepped forward, took the telegram, waved his hand, and closed the office door after Mao Shun left.
"Dark blue" refers to the color, and "dark blue telegram" means that even Mao Sun, the confidential secretary, did not possess the code for the second-level special telegram. He was only responsible for delivering it and had no right or ability to decipher it.
As for the top-level special telegrams, they are from strategic-level special agents such as "Bluebird" (Xiao Mian) and "Qiqiao Flower". Qi Wu personally retrieves the telegrams, and even encrypted telegrams are generally handled by other people as much as possible.
“It’s a coded telegram from ‘Woodpecker’,” Qi Wu said, glancing at the coded message at the end of the telegram.
“Translate the telegram,” Dai Chunfeng said immediately, opening the safe and taking out the corresponding codebook.
"Yes."
……
Qi Wu quickly began translating telegrams in Dai Chunfeng's office.
"Director." Qi Wu presented the newly translated telegram to Dai Chunfeng with both hands.
"That 'Xiao Mian,' that brat!" Dai Chunfeng said angrily, his left hand holding the telegram trembling. "He actually made phone calls to various units in the Shanghai region based solely on guesswork, before even confirming that Chen Gongshu had indeed defected to the enemy!!!"
“That’s outrageous, absolutely outrageous!” Qi Wu nodded, also angrily saying, then he changed the subject, “Fortunately, this kid’s guess was right, and the intelligence he personally investigated later confirmed that Chen Gongshu had indeed defected to the enemy.”
"So, he spread rumors about a major general district chief defecting to the enemy without any concrete intelligence, and not only is he not at fault, but he should be commended and praised?" Dai Chunfeng said with a dark expression.
"Director, if the result is good, then everything is good." Qi Wu thought for a while before finally managing to say this.
……
"Damn it!" Dai Chunfeng was stunned for a moment, then cursed in anger, using the 'principal's language'. He pointed at Qi Wu and laughed angrily, "Good, good my ass! Chen Gongshu has defected to the enemy, Zhao Qi has been arrested, the Second Office of the District Government has fallen, and the situation of other units is also uncertain. Is this good?"
"At the very least, Xiao Mian's troops promptly eliminated Yao Changgen, a huge hidden danger, and issued a timely warning," Qi Wu said. "This can be considered a success in preventing the situation from deteriorating to an uncontrollable level."
"Tell me, how much money did that kid give you that you're taking his side like this?" Dai Chunfeng glared at Qi Wu and questioned him.
"I just said a few fair words," Qi Wu said. "My junior isn't in Chongqing, so as his senior, I can't just stand by and watch him be misunderstood."
When Dai Chunfeng heard Qi Wu speak so bluntly, he gave Qi Wu a deep look, but surprisingly, he was no longer angry.
"Just keep helping him and spoiling him," Dai Chunfeng said irritably.
"Director, if we're talking about spoiling someone, you're the one who spoils them the most," Qi Wu retorted, "If it were anyone else, even if their subordinates spoke up for them, they would still be punished. It's only because you, Director, are reluctant to punish him that you're using me as an example."
"You still have the nerve to talk?" Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly and glared at Qi Wu.
Qi Wu gave an awkward smile.
……
"Qi Wu." Dai Chunfeng took two sips of tea and asked Qi Wu with a serious expression, "Before there was any concrete evidence that Chen Gongshu had been in trouble or had betrayed the regime, why did that kid dare to do such a thing based solely on speculation?"
He looked at Qi Wu and asked, "Isn't he afraid of making me angry? Isn't he afraid of the rules of my Military Intelligence Bureau?"
"Perhaps it's because he has unwavering faith in the Director, believing that the Director will understand his loyalty and approve of his quick thinking," Qi Wu said.
As he spoke, he glanced at Dai Chunfeng and added, "He believes he is not wrong, and there were no other secret telegrams this time."
"That brat, he's got his eye on me, he won't punish him?!" Dai Chunfeng laughed angrily.
In the past, whenever Cheng Qianfan got into trouble, in addition to sending a secret telegram directly to him, 'Boss Dai,' there would also be a secret telegram sent to 'Senior Dai.'
This time, they even skipped the secret telegram to "Senior Dai".
……
"This shows that he believes the Director can understand what he has done," Qi Wu said with a smile.
He could tell that Dai Chunfeng wasn't really angry, or rather, he wasn't taking it to heart at that moment.
However, not being angry now doesn't mean you won't be angry later.
His reminder just now was like planting a soft thorn in Dai Chunfeng's heart, a soft thorn that he feels nothing about now.
However, if needed in the future, he could silently remind Dai Chunfeng of this thorn. At that time, the soft thorn would become a hard thorn stuck in his heart, becoming evidence of this junior's long-standing arrogance.
“Director,” Qi Wu said, “Chen Gongshu defected to the enemy, Zhao Qi was arrested, the Second Office of the District Government was captured, and the extent of the losses in other units is unknown. Fu Liao is still waiting for your orders over there.”
……
"How is Cen Yufeng doing?" Dai Chunfeng asked suddenly, lost in thought.
“Cen Yufeng suffered severe torture and is still recovering,” Qi Wu said after thinking for a moment. “Logically speaking, Cen Yufeng is still in Shanghai. As the secretary of the Shanghai district, he would be the most suitable person to take charge of the overall situation in the Shanghai district at this critical moment, but…”
"Just what?" Dai Chunfeng glanced at Qi Wu seemingly casually.
“It’s just that Cen Yufeng was rescued by the Special Affairs Division and had relatively direct and in-depth contact with them, as Xiao Mian…” Qi Wu said.
"Absurd." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly and said, "Is there not a single person Xiao Mian has ever contacted who he can trust? Does he think only his Special Intelligence Division is full of heroes? He's worried about this and that."
Qi Wu opened his mouth, but did not continue to defend Cheng Qianfan.
Objectively speaking, Xiao Mian's "special habit" was indeed a "serious violation," which is why Dai Chunfeng always tolerated it.
Of course, this is also because Xiao Mian and his troops deserve Dai Chunfeng's tolerance.
After all, the Shanghai region had suffered numerous incidents and several complete defeats. It would be impossible for the Director not to worry that the Shanghai region would implicate the Special Affairs Department.
……
“That kid’s worries and wariness are excessive, but I can understand them a little,” Dai Chunfeng sighed and said. “However, given the current situation in the Shanghai area, Cen Yufeng is the most suitable candidate.”
“Call Fu Liao in Shanghai and tell him that Chen Gongshu’s defection to the enemy is true. Tell him that Cen Yufeng will take charge of the work in Shanghai,” Dai Chunfeng said.
Qi Wu quickly recorded the telegram draft.
“Call Xiao Mian of the Special Affairs Department and tell him to arrange for someone to escort Cen Yufeng to make contact with the Shanghai region so that Cen Yufeng can return to the Shanghai region and take charge of its work,” Dai Chunfeng said.
“Then Xiao Mian…” Qi Wu said.
“Tell him that Cen Yufeng was arrested by the Japanese military police and tortured for more than two months, but he remained steadfast and unyielding. Ask him if Xiao Mian can trust someone like Cen Yufeng!” Dai Chunfeng waved his hand and said, “Ask him if someone like Cen Yufeng deserves Xiao Mian’s respect and trust!”
