Cicada Moving

Chapter 1229 Psychological Control

 Shancheng, Datong Street.

The warm winter sun shines on the land of Bayu, and the golden signs on the roadside reflect the hazy halo. Xiang Fang and Gui Youguang walk side by side on the exotic streets.

Since the early 1930s, Datong Street has been home to many foreign banks. After the war broke out, more financial institutions moved here, making Datong Street the most important financial center during the war.

Those foreign banks and commercial houses have brought Baroque style, Western classical architectural style, and new modern architectural style to the mountain city. Fashionable young men and women have used this place as a date spot.

 “Captain Zhang, the peaceful time is so wonderful.”

Wearing a short fur coat and a small round hat, Xiang Fang looked at the bustling crowd and said something with a sincere expression, as if he liked this scene very much.

 Beside you, Gui Youguang loosened his tie and nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's a pity that the Japanese haven't been driven away yet. This kind of life will not last long, Miss Xiang, don't you think so?"

He took the opportunity to test Xiang Fang's attitude towards the Japanese. After speaking, he stared at the side of the other person's face, and he became more vigilant.

Xiang Fang looked excited when he heard this and clenched his fists: "We will definitely drive away the Japanese!"

Gui Youguang failed to see the problem from her reaction. Disappointed, he invited Xiang Fang to a coffee shop. The two sat down at a round table on the roadside, drank coffee and continued chatting.

 “Ms. Xiang, what kind of pastime do you usually do~www.readwn.com~Join the women’s salon.”

 “A women’s salon? What is that place? Can you tell me.”

“A place for chatting. By the way, Captain Zhang, have you ever seen the underground party?”

Xiang Fang brushed off the Jinlan Club and then asked a very sensitive question.

In mountainous cities, especially those after the Jiangnan Incident, the word "underground party" can easily cause trouble. No one knows from which corner the spies and policemen of the police station will jump out.

Gui Youguang is confused. Why does the target mention dissidents? Is their speculation wrong? Jinlan Society is really related to the underground party?

  No, the underground party has no habit of using female intelligence officers to obtain information in this way. It is said that this violates the discipline of the northwest, so their speculation is fine.

But the trouble is that the action instructions given by the deputy commander did not prepare for this question. How to answer it? He can't say that he has met the underground party in the interrogation room.

After a slight hesitation, Gui Youguang combined the combat records of the unit with the false identity and replied vaguely: "I have seen it before. When we were in the southwest, the 37th Army participated in the encirclement and suppression."

“Then what kind of people are they?” Xiang Fang asked further.

For this kind of terrible question, the answer is very cautious: "Differenters are good at controlling the hearts of the people, and Miss Xiang still should not ask more, so as not to cause trouble at home."

Xiang Fang looked a little disappointed, but did not ask any further questions. He smiled and changed the subject of the conversation to what "Zhang Xiuping" had seen on the battlefield. The two had a "very happy conversation."

 After all, if a good-looking young lady holds her chin and looks at you with admiration, anyone will feel happy.

However, Gui Youguang discovered that during the conversation, Xiang Fang tried to find out the confidential information of the Ninth War Zone, and the way of doing so was very clever, and he may have received professional training.

The other party cleverly hid the questions to obtain intelligence in seemingly normal conversations. For example, she asked "Zhang Xiuping" how many machine guns his subordinates had, whether officers at all levels were close to the front line, whether the sound of artillery sounded loud, and whether it could be used during war. Eat meat and vegetables and more.

To ordinary people, this is just curiosity, but in the eyes of professional intelligence personnel, a lot of information can be analyzed through these questions.

For example, the layout habits of the headquarters of the 37th Army at all levels, equipment, supply levels, and logistics transportation efficiency are all top secret information.

In order to gain Xiang Fang's trust, Gui Youguang answered several of the questions, but avoided the more sensitive parts.

This is in line with the record of "Zhang Xiuping"'s character in the national archives - he is bold and careful. If he told the whole story, it would seem a bit deliberate.

The two chatted like this for a long time. With the help of action guidance and the intelligence collected in advance, Gui Youguang sometimes made Xiang Fang smile like a flower, and sometimes made her frown and heartache.

 At noon, the two went to a Western restaurant to have dinner together, and after the meal they went to the cinema to watch a movie, a standard bourgeois lifestyle.

 It is worth mentioning that Xiang Fang took the initiative to pay for all the expenses during this period, so someone enjoyed the pleasure of eating soft rice in advance.

In the evening, Gui Youguang met Zuo Zhong at his temporary residence. He gave a truthful report on the day's itinerary and submitted a written action log.

Zuo Zhong looked solemn after reading it. The background of the Jinlan Society may be more complicated than imagined. Now it depends on whether He Yijun can break into the core circle of the Jinlan Society.

He walked to the window and looked through the white screen at the mountain city that was slowly quieting down, his eyes deep.

—

  No. 14, Dexingli.

He Yijun sat on the sofa with Miss Kong Er, listening carefully to the speech of Sima Linglong, the president of Jinlan Society.

“Dear members, although there are some unpleasant things happening between the government and the underground party, joint resistance against Japan is the general trend. I would like to raise some supplies and send them to the northwest, and I would like to ask everyone to donate generously.”

Miss Kong Er frowned when she heard that she was going to raise funds for the underground party. The other officials and wives also looked embarrassed, and even more were dissatisfied, thinking that Sima Linglong was just looking for trouble.

The incident in Jiangnan made the government very embarrassed. If people knew that they were sending supplies to the northwest, their husbands, fathers, and brothers would definitely be in trouble. The room fell into silence for a while. Just when Sima Linglong was riding a tiger, several people finally raised their hands and expressed their willingness to donate a sum of money to purchase supplies.

Among these people are Xiang Fang and Zhong Xiao. They are both young and full of enthusiasm. They don’t care whether doing this will bring trouble to themselves and their families.

 “Okay, thank you all for your support.”

Sima Linglong’s face reappeared with a smile and she clapped her hands gently. When other members saw someone pretending to be arrogant, they also clapped their hands in a dignified manner.

He Yijun silently wrote down the name of the donor, tilted his head and discussed with Miss Kong Er for a moment, raised his hand and said calmly.

“President Sima, I pledge five thousand oceans.”

If you want to integrate into the Jinlan Society as soon as possible, you must show something. Giving money is the most direct way. No matter where you are, it is always easy for generous people to make friends.

Furthermore, Xiang Fang's behavior at the last party was very strange. Maybe the donation can be a breakthrough to find out what the other party talked about with Sima Linglong.

As He Yijun expected, all the members, including Zhong Xiao and Xiang Fang, looked at her with surprise and admiration in their eyes.

Different from the skyrocketing legal currency, five thousand oceans is not a small amount, enough to buy more than ten thousand kilograms of rice, or five thousand kilograms of pork, or one thousand to two thousand ordinary cotton-padded clothes.

 After receiving such a large donation, Sima Linglong immediately beamed, solemnly thanked He Yijun several times, then chatted as usual, and then announced that the party was over.

Before leaving, Sima Linglong called the names of He Yijun and several other donors and invited them to stay to discuss donations. Everyone nodded in agreement.

He Yijun understood that the opportunity to break into the core of the Jinlan Society had come, but she would also face Sima Linglong head-on.

Once she showed a flaw, not only would the mission fail, but she would also be in danger, so she secretly braced herself and prepared to face the temptation.

Sima Linglong sent Miss Kong Er and the members away, asked the maid to bring new refreshments, sat down on the main seat with a smile, and expressed her gratitude to He Yijun again.

“Ms. Shao, if it weren’t for your support just now, I would really not be able to get off the stage.”

Her arms were leaning on the back of the chaise longue, and she was sitting in a graceful posture. She held a handkerchief in front of her face and smiled softly. Her expression was very moving.

Zhong Xiao, Xiang Fang and others did not speak. They picked up their teacups and drank the tea. He Yijun looked around and responded with a bright smile.

“President Sima is too polite. Everyone just has doubts, not against you.”

Sima Linglong looked at He Yijun and said frankly and honestly: "Miss Shao, you grew up in Malaya and don't know much about the situation in the country. They attended the Jinlan Society to build relationships with Miss Kong. Naturally, they will not raise funds for the northwest. I said that. It has offended a lot of people.”

Speaking of this, she suddenly paused and asked: "I wonder what Miss Shao thinks of the underground party?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhong Xiao, Xiang Fang and others all looked over. He Yijun thought about it and gave an ambiguous answer.

“I have listened to the propaganda of the underground party several times in Malaya. Due to the restrictions of the colonial government, most of the content discussed was superficial, so I am not very clear about their thoughts.

 But after returning to China, I read the "New Hua Bao" in the northwest. Its articles and reports were really exciting, completely different from the dull atmosphere of the mountain city, and it was fascinating. "

This answer is not surprising. In the current Republic of China, any young person who is new to the underground party’s ideas will have this reaction.

Sima Linglong nodded, then changed the topic, from thoughts and beliefs to emotional matters, and asked "Shao Ying" if he had someone he liked. If not, she could introduce young talents on her behalf.

Not only that, Sima Linglong also used herself as an example to teach others how to win the favor of the opposite sex, and became a close big sister.

 She told He Yijun and others that as women, they should "understand" the opposite sex. They can play a gentle, considerate or considerate role to create a sense of dependence and emotional needs for the other party.

 When getting along, don’t rush to give clear commitments or definitions in the relationship. You must keep the other party hopeful and invested, and gradually bring the relationship closer.

 When necessary, you can also use other members of the opposite **** to put pressure on you by taking advantage of their favorable impressions or feelings.

 Finally, they should give some small gifts during daily meetings and bear the dating expenses to prove that they don't care about money, so as to avoid misunderstandings from the opposite sex.

He Yijun listened attentively, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong. This was not a way for men and women to get along at all. It was clearly a sophisticated psychological control technique.

Beautiful colors are cited, emotional control, gifts, and giving pressure. These steps come down and can completely control the goals to some extent.

If Zuo Zhong were present, you would understand why he would feel familiar when seeing Bian Jichao and Zhong Xiao, Xiang Fang and "Zhang Xiuping" getting along. These are the legendary fishing girls.

The only difference is that some people in later generations used this method to make money, while Sima Linglong used this method to obtain information.

  The forces behind the Jinlan Society are by no means simple. If you want to combine psychology and intelligence activities, you need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in research. Most countries do not have this strength.

Even the military commanders only have preliminary ideas in this regard. They have not even understood the theory and are far from practical application.
