Chapter 301.
A few moments later.
The teahouse staff sent in all Cheng Mo wanted, and also gave him a cone of “tranquilize the spirit” incense, the taste is not bad.
Close the door, the downstairs of the Wu Nong soft language of Suzhou flat play as if the aftermath of the sound, in the ears, but also does not seem so noisy.
The appointed time is nine o’clock in the morning.
Cheng Mo picked up his teacup and took a small sip, put it down, and glanced at the watch on his left wrist, the time was almost up.
He was a punctual person, he just didn’t know if the other party was punctual anymore.
As a special intelligence officer, punctuality is a necessary quality, if, Wang Tianmu can not even do this, then there is no need to see.
Offend it, such a person, even if you do a good job, but also the road is different, not the same, in the end is not the same people.
The tea in the cup was three times shallower, and finally heard a footsteps sounding outside the door.
The door of the box was pushed open.
A middle-aged man wearing a bowler hat and a suit with a floral tie and square-toed leather shoes walked in.
A look at the other side of this square head and round face, with a fierce face, this person is not Wang Tianmu and which is it? At least this dress code was exactly the same as the one recorded in history.
“Brother is Dark Flame?” Wang Tianmu waved his hand, signaling the fellow to go out, then he sat down in front of Cheng Mo with a big grin, clasped his fists, and directly opened the door to ask.
“My name is Li Weigong, Junta Headquarters code name: Dark Fire.” Cheng Mo gave a slight nod, naturally he wouldn’t use his real name.
Wang Tianmu also used an alias for his activities in Shanghai, so we all share the same with each other.
“I’ve heard about his name for a long time, but I haven’t seen him, so I’m sorry for the disrespect.” Wang Tianmu once again clasped his fists and said, he more or less knows some of “Dark Flame’s” past performance, although that compared to his performance in North China, it’s a bit worse, but people still remain undefeated.
The things he did are all in the past.
“Senior is polite, I don’t know what is senior’s appointment with me for?” Cheng Mo asked, Wang Tianmu is already fifty years old, graduated from the Northeastern Lecture Hall, and had traveled east to Japan to study, no matter from the age or seniority, Cheng Mo called the other party a “senior”, that is naturally not excessive.
The “dark fire” is subordinate to the headquarters of the Bureau of Military Intelligence, and the Shanghai District has no affiliation, but only a nominal guidance work.
Even the inspector of Shanghai District can’t inspect “Dark Fire”, even if Cheng Mo’s official position is small, he is not considered to be Wang Tianmu’s subordinate.
“Li ……”
“Li Weigong, this name feels a bit strange, Team Leader Li, when did you join the military junta?” Wang Tianmu asked curiously, even if he had never seen or recognized the heads of the departments within the military unification, he had heard of their names, but the name “Li Weigong” sounded a bit strange to him.
“I am a halfway house, senior if you want to know, you can directly ask Boss Dai.” Cheng Mo directly said.
The meaning was clear, you don’t need to know my origin, if you really want to know, ask Dai Yunong directly and see if he will tell you? Wang Tianmu slightly frowned, this kid’s mouth is not small, arrogant enough, but considering that the other party is lurking in this place in Shanghai, out of prudent consideration, not willing to expose more information about themselves, which is also understandable.
“Then Wang Mou will open up the sky window and say the truth, I hope that old brother can help me do a great thing.” Wang Tianmu solemnly cupped his fists and said. “Elder please speak.”
“I want to assassinate the pseudo-Nanjing Foreign Minister Chen Zhuan.”
“The Shanghai District Action Team is full of experts, why would senior come to me?” Cheng Mo’s face was calm as he asked a rhetorical question.
“I’m not hiding it from you, I’ve just been transferred from outside, the local staffing is unfamiliar, the former district chief was arrested suddenly, many relationships have not been cleared up, assassinating Chen Zhuan is a big deal, once the news leaks out, not only will I lose all my efforts, but it will also trigger a linkage effect, so I want to ask you to take a shot at helping me for once!” Wang Tianmu said.
“Dark Fire Team and Shanghai District are not affiliated with each other and operate independently, if I interfere with Shanghai District’s actions, it is against the rules, once it fails, I will have to bear a greater responsibility, besides, Dark Fire Team has no other related cooperation besides only intelligence interoperability with Shanghai District, that’s all.” Cheng Mo said.
“Elder brother Li, I can’t help it, if I am not able to make some achievements in Shanghai, everything I have worked hard for today will go down the drain.” Wang Tianmu said.
“Senior is already at this age, and you still take fame and fortune so seriously?” Cheng Mo laughed, “When one is in the jungle, one cannot live by oneself, and what happens to the loser is terrible.”
After all was said and done, he still couldn’t let go of the power and glory in his hands, if Wang Tianmu was able to let go of his heart of striving for strength and greed, he wouldn’t be so bitter.
Nay, some people just can’t fill their desires.
“Senior, Dark Flame’s mission is not to sanction or assassinate, this request of yours makes it difficult for me, if you just want me to provide some intelligence support, perhaps I can help, but if you want to carry out a sanctioning mission, then forget it.”
If he wanted to kill Chen Zhuan, he could do it himself, why would he need to give you the credit, not to mention the fact that the rightful owner of the assassination of Chen Zhuan was now under his own command.
So, even following the historical procedure all over again would be enough.
Why should I let you lead this sanctioned mission and share the credit with you for no reason?
Of course, he was even more aware that assassinating Chen Zhuan had not been able to change Wang Tianmu’s current situation at all; instead, he had been summoned to Hong Kong to report on his duties, had been scolded by Dai Yunong, and had been removed from his position as the Shanghai district chief, and had been appointed as a liaison officer for the North China region of the military junta instead.
“Elder brother Li, in the Junta, the only way to move up is to keep making achievements, killing one Chen Zhuan can be worth as much as you killing several Lu Hongs!” Wang Tianmu said, “Killing Chen Zhuan will allow you to directly move up one level in rank, and the bonus is extremely generous.”
“The bonus and official promotion of one level are given to me, what about senior, what does senior get?” Cheng Mo asked a nonchalant rhetorical question.
“I’ve just taken up a position in the Shanghai District, too many people are displeased with me, I need a victory to deter these people.” Wang Tianmu was also very straightforward, “Otherwise, no one will listen to my orders at all, and I can’t do the things I want to do, and then I’ll be driven away in disgrace, this kind of humiliation, you know it, Elder Brother Li.”
“The people were killed by me, Dark Fire, how can the credit be counted on senior, or is it that if I agree to help, I still have to help senior hide it?” Cheng Mo laughed, Bai Huo spoke so eloquently, did he really think he was a three year old child?
“If this matter comes to fruition, the bonus can be given to you first, regarding your promotion, I will naturally do my best to help.” Wang Tianmu said.
“Senior, whether I can be promoted or not, I actually don’t care that much, as for the money, it’s just enough, or that, I can provide intelligence information, I can’t think of letting me out of my hands, the dark fire mission has nothing to do with assassination and sanctioning traitors, this is what Boss Dai said, if I go against this principle, you also know, what will happen to me.” Cheng Mo lifted Dai Yunong out.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t sanction the traitors, but this matter, had to be led by him, following someone else’s ass, what was that called, sharing the credit not to mention, it was also easy to expose himself.
