Cicada Moving

Chapter 284 Dark Circles

“Today, the most important task of our party is to resist foreign aggression and rejuvenate the nation. So how can we resist the enemy and rejuvenate our Chinese nation?

 When it comes to resisting the enemy, we must first understand the enemy's situation. From a military point of view, it can be said that the Japanese are fully prepared in every aspect.

Its army has 3.3 million men, its navy has 1.2 million tons, and its air force has only 1,500 aircraft last year but now has 3,000.

From these aspects, we can see that they are fully prepared for war, whether economically, politically, or socially. "

Baldhead held up a manuscript on the stage and talked about the preparations for war with the Japanese without shame. Zuo Zhong almost yawned and thought to himself, if you really wanted to resist Japan, why would you be reprimanded by the military?

　　The ceremony of reading out promotion orders, commendations, and awarding medals has passed. Now it is the time for the bald head to speak. Everyone is arranged in order according to their official rank to accept the instructions of the Chairman.

In fact, not only Zuo Zhong, but everyone present was absent-minded. Everyone was looking at the military rank on the collar and the medal on the chest. Compared with the bald man's false talk, fame and wealth are more touching.

For example, Gu Qi and Song Minghao, as well as Wu Chunyang and Gui Youguang. These two people even attended the meeting despite being injured. Is it to see the bald head, to listen to his nonsense, or for fame.

Only Ling Sanping is the calmest. He was deceived into being a spy, and he has superb medical skills. Even if he leaves the secret service, the hospitals that want him can be lined up from here to the gate of Jinling City.

Zuo Zhong also glanced at his collar. The one bar on it was replaced by two. The small triangle was particularly eye-catching. He was one step closer to the admission standard of Gongdelin University. It was gratifying.

The bald man spoke more and more energetically. He held his right hand on his lower back, and his excited saliva flew far away. Director Chen, Dai Chunfeng, and Xu Enzeng standing in the front row were receiving the baptism of their whole body at this moment.

“Looking back, what is our own situation? Are our conditions for resisting the enemy complete? We ourselves can give a simple and painful answer: not at all.

Not only are they not equipped in terms of material and strength, but they are also not unified mentally and spiritually! When the Sino-Japanese war comes, there will definitely be some unbridled reactionaries who will seize the opportunity to cause trouble.

Taking this point alone, it is enough to control our fate. Before the Japanese or other enemies come to attack us, our country will be in civil strife. How can we resist the enemy?

 Hence, I often say that in order to resist foreign aggression, we must first settle the domestic situation, unite our will, and thoroughly and completely eliminate the underground parties in the southwest. Only in this way can we fully prepare for a war with the Japanese. "

Zuo Zhong was about to laugh out loud. Who are the reactionaries? Your bald head is the leader of the reactionaries. You really don’t forget to peddle the theory of "fighting against external forces and maintaining domestic stability" at any time and on any occasion.

But on the surface, after hearing the nonsense the bald head said, his eyes changed from puzzlement to enlightenment, and he happened to meet the bald head's patrolling gaze. Zuo Zhong quickly raised his hand.

 “Whoosh, whoosh.”

Starting from him, the venue burst into warm applause. Many people didn’t know why they were applauding, but no matter what, they applauded when others applauded. Their faces were so excited that they clapped their hands red.

Hearing the applause, the bald man smiled slightly. It was the children from his hometown who understood his thoughts. Although he was a little fond of money, this was the best thing. Working hard is worse than using it. People have shortcomings that can only be controlled.

 When he was happy, he went off-script to advocate the progress of the war on the southwest front, and cleverly put the credit on his own head. Zuo Zhong almost gave himself a slap in the face and made you applaud.

However, it was not without gain. The bald man seemed not to understand what confidentiality meant, and revealed some top-secret information, such as some future military arrangements. It seemed that he was really lost.

Zuo Zhong took notes carefully while looking at the bald head with reverence. He took out a small book to record the information. He looked like he had been brainwashed. The bald head felt very comfortable with this silent flattery.

Finally, after several reminders from his entourage, the bald man announced the end of the meeting. This time, the applause was even more enthusiastic, and it was a heartfelt applause. If it didn't end, his legs would go numb.

The bald man walked off the stage, chatted and laughed with Director Chen, and patted Dai Chunfeng on the shoulder to encourage him. Xu Enzeng suppressed his excitement and waited for the big boss to receive him cordially.

His life was very difficult during this period. Anyone in the same place would be beaten up by the officers and soldiers of the 88th Division whenever they went out, including him. Division Commander Yuan might be waiting for him outside the bureau headquarters.

Physically beaten and mentally stimulated, the Chairman deprived a section of his power and handed it over to the Secret Service. This was a heavy blow to Xu Enzeng, who felt that he was going to die.

The source of all this is the vicious rumor. Although he pursued his friend's wife and even though he drugged his sister-in-law, he and Mrs. Yuan were innocent and there was no time to take action.

Seeing the bald head encourage Dai Chunfeng, he quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face and wanted to explain, but the bald head passed him directly and started chatting with someone he never expected.

“Little fellow countryman, the gift you asked Chunfeng to deliver is very good. Being able to taste the taste of my hometown in Nanchang can be regarded as comforting my homesickness.” The bald head unexpectedly walked up to Zuo Zhong and said.

Zuo Zhong's eyes were red with excitement, and he stammered: "As long as the Chairman is satisfied, this is the wish of my parents. I am humble enough to think that I can't handle a few bottles of shrimp paste, which makes you laugh."

"Hahaha."

 The officers laughed kindly, saying that this young man had a future.

The bald head also laughed heartily: "When we were in Japan, Brother Shanwen and I met several times. It's a pity that he had to return to his hometown to get married. Otherwise, with his talents, he would definitely become a mainstay of the party and state." Did the father know the bald head?

Zuo Zhongzhen did not expect this to happen, and said quickly: "My father often talks about the leader, saying that you are the anchor of the party and the country. He told me to do my duty faithfully and do more for the country and the nation."

Baldhead smiled with satisfaction, said a few more words to Zuo Zhong, and then left with the officers. What’s funny is that before leaving, all of these officers patted Zuo Zhong on the shoulder as a token of affection.

Dai Chunfeng was very proud that Zuo Zhong was valued by the leader. He also benefited a lot as a teacher. Looking at the embarrassed Xu Enzeng and the dark-faced Director Chen, he was even happier.

 “Creak, crunch.”

After Zuo Zhong saw off the officers, he heard a strange sound. He turned around and saw that it was Director Xu. The guy was staring at him with red eyes, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to kill someone.

Looking more closely, Director Xu actually had a panda eye. Compared with the solemn atmosphere of the venue, it was quite funny. It seemed that the other party was having a hard time during this period.

He chuckled in his heart, walked up to Xu Enzeng, and greeted loudly: "Hello, Director Xu, what's wrong with your eyes? No matter how busy you are at work, you can't forget to take a rest."

When he greeted him like this, many people heard the sound and saw the traces on Xu Enzeng's face. They covered their mouths and laughed. Who in Jinling City didn't know the grudges between Director Xu and Master Yuan.

Zuo Zhongqing said sincerely: "Look at the dark circles under your eyes and what they look like. No wonder the teacher often asks us to follow your example. You should take care of yourself. Your body is the capital of your work."

 It was so embarrassing. Xu Enzeng quickly covered his face and said sullenly: "Don't let Xu catch who spread the rumors, otherwise I will tear his mouth apart even if he quits the job as director."

Although there is no evidence, he feels that the rumors are inseparable from the Secret Service. For example, this little **** named Zuo, even if he is not the initiator, must be behind it.

“Rumor? Oh, you mean that.”

Zuo Zhong nodded vigorously and said at the top of his lungs: "Those who spread rumors will be punished. I have issued a death order in Corey. Anyone who dares to spread your story will be punished by military law."

Xu Enzeng wanted to jump over and cover his mouth. When he said this, the laughter around him became even louder. However, according to Liu Gui's information, the Secret Service did not discuss this matter, which was strange.

 Is this really not related to the second office?

As soon as this idea crossed his mind, it was vetoed by Xu Enzeng. Regardless of whether the rumor had anything to do with the Second Division, it was true that they had taken away their rights. This was all due to Zuo Zhongli’s great contribution.

“Bah!” he said angrily, “Don’t be so proud. The underground party is different from those Japanese spies. I want to see if your secret service can take advantage of the underground party.”

In response to his words, Zuo Zhong responded with a smile: "When I came, I saw Commander Yuan outside the gate from a distance. If there is a misunderstanding between the two officers, it is best to resolve it as soon as possible to avoid losing the dignity of the party and the country."

Forehead.

Xu Enzeng was stunned. Commander Yuan really dared to block him at the bureau headquarters. Aren't those named Yuan afraid of meeting the chairman of the committee? After thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't be as knowledgeable as that reckless man, so it was better to leave first.

 “Hum, we’ll see.”

 So he said a harsh word, covered his face and hurried towards the side door without even saying hello to his eldest cousin, Director Chen. He thought he was afraid of being beaten by Commander Yuan's iron fist, so he could only run away in a hurry.

"hehe."

Zuo Zhong looked at his embarrassed figure and smiled. He saw Commander Yuan, but it was not the main entrance. Presumably Commander Yuan would greet Xu Enzeng well. Now there was something good to see.

 “Section Chief, what are you laughing at?”

 Gu Qi walked over with a smile, and behind him were the people in the intelligence department who had been promoted to a higher rank. Everyone touched their new ranks and smiled. It was only a short time since they were last promoted, and they took another step forward.

It is difficult to get promoted. Some people have worked for decades and are just second lieutenants. Just like Gu Qi and Song Minghao before them, they have wasted decades and wasted so much time. They are never as smooth as they are now.

Song Minghao said gratefully: "Section Chief, I never dare to dream that one day I can become a lieutenant. It all depends on your promotion. From now on, you will see my performance, Old Song, and I will never embarrass you."

Gu Qi was also very excited. Captain, this is nothing in the army, but it is already a very high rank in the Secret Service. If the Secret Service expands in the future, military rank will be very important in job appointments.

Zuo Zhong smiled and stopped everyone who wanted to thank him: "Okay, there is no need to say more words of thanks. We will have a meeting after we get back. Corey's branch will make some adjustments. You must be prepared."

　　　Addicted to reading and unable to extricate myself.
