From to 1935 2020

That's what made him connect the two.

As the spy chief in charge of this area of ​​Shanghai, Xu Enzeng was under pressure from the Chairman of the Standing Committee to solve the case immediately after the incident. the case.

Sitting in the special car arranged by the Zhongtong secret agents, Xu Enzeng looked at the building not far away with the signboard "Eileen Orphanage".He noticed that there was a long queue of about 30 people, all adults and children.

Around the group of patients and their family members who gathered around to see the doctor, there were more than a dozen local policemen helping to maintain order.When Xu Enzeng came over, the free "free clinic and free treatment" was coming to an end.

At the scene, several people dressed as medical staff in white coats and red cross emblems on their arms were giving injections one by one to the children brought up by their parents.

Xu En once asked: "This is the residence of the rich foreigner. Why are there so many people around the door?"

The subordinate replied: "She is doing a free clinic to treat children—I heard it's tuberculosis!"

Xu Enzeng frowned: "Consumption? This disease is very difficult to cure. Even if it is cured, it will require expensive foreign medicine?"

"Yes, but that female foreigner is very rich. Her free clinic this time uses the latest foreign medicine. Three days ago, she started giving medicine to children for free here. It is said to be very effective. One injection is enough. , The cough stopped and the fever subsided the next day! The effect is very remarkable, and the medicine is free of charge, so almost all the tuberculosis patients in Shanghai came after hearing the news."

"How many people has she treated so far?"

"About 900 people. This Miss Elena gave medicine to 300 people a day, and today is the third day."

"900 people? That's going to cost a lot of money!"

Xu Enzeng is not a doctor, but he also knows that tuberculosis usually does not kill people immediately, but it is a "disease of wealth" that can drain the entire family of ordinary people.If anyone can invent a special medicine that can cure this disease with one shot, they can get rich immediately.At present, although there are several medicines in the world that claim to be able to cure this disease, all of them without exception are of the kind with severe sequelae and toxicity, and the effect is not very good. (Actually, the so-called medicines that claim to be curable in this period can only suppress and delay death a little, and are extremely toxic, basically cheating money)

"A mysterious foreigner came to China from a long distance, so madly using such expensive medicine to treat Chinese people..."

With serious doubts in mind, Xu Enzeng got out of the car and walked over to the location of the free clinic.And his servants hurriedly followed behind him to protect him.During this period of time, with the destruction of the Red Team, the Ax Gang was forced out of Shanghai, and the forces that could pose a threat to the Cannon Party spies no longer existed.However, the spy chief, who has done too many bad things, has not changed his habit of calling out for protection when he is in action.

After Xu Enzeng approached, he found that there were a few simple tables on the scene. There were several doctors sitting in a row behind the tables. , when he was hired from a church hospital or a private foreign hospital in the concession area, he was a temporary doctor.

A secret agent whispered to Xu Enzeng: "Those foreign doctors with stethoscopes spend one hundred dollars a day here. That foreigner is really rich!"

The specific operation process is very simple: the foreign doctor takes the child brought by the patient's family members for auscultation, and at the same time talks with the family members again. After initially confirming that it is tuberculosis, he then gives it to the assistant nurse next to him.These nurses took out the needle medicine that had been prepared long ago, gave the child an injection, and then the family members took it away.The whole process of seeing a doctor is quite fast, and it will not take more than 3 minutes before and after.

If a family member of a patient can produce the medical records of foreign hospitals, or even provide X-rays that are extremely rare in this period, just show them to the doctor, and the process will be faster after confirming that it is tuberculosis.

From the rigorous point of view of later generations of medicine, it would be considered very irresponsible to rush for treatment and injection after such a simple inspection.But in this era, Huang Ke, the organizer behind the scenes, can no longer care about these things.In his view, bacteria and viruses in this era have poor drug resistance, but in fact, any antibiotic will have a relatively good effect.Now these doctors are giving patients the medicine rifampicin, which is a special medicine for lung disease.This was after the initial understanding of the space-time transmission, Huang Ke, at the request of Elena, specially entrusted his relationship, and once again sent the raw material medicine from the "acquaintance" pharmaceutical factory, and sent one kilogram of medicine at a time.

As for the other specific drug, streptomycin, it was not sent immediately because of its high toxicity. Medicines with less toxicity and side effects are used domestically.

However, before handing the child to the nurse for an injection, all the children who were injected had to "pass their hands" in front of the tall and beautiful foreign woman wearing a mask.

Xu Yin once saw that next to that beautiful "foreign doctor" sat a young Chinese man, who was the "public enemy" of all men in Shanghai, the legendary "little boy" who seduced the "pretty foreign princess".He was sitting next to Elena, his left hand and Elena's right sticking together.Huang Ke placed Elena's right palm on the back of his left hand. When each child was brought to him, Huang Ke would press his hand on the child's chest for a while.

Judging from the screen, the appearance of the two of them holding hands close to each other to see a patient is very ambiguous.

When some children came over, Huang Ke pressed the button for a few seconds and then passed it to the back, letting the nurse on the side give the injection directly, while some children would press for a long time before sending it down, and some were more serious, obviously very sick , Coughing fiercely, Huang Ke and Elena would occasionally cooperate to turn it upside down and press their hands on their chests. After a while, the child would cough violently and cough up a lot of disgusting yellow-green phlegm, and then Only then did I hand it over to the nurse for an injection, and at the same time give a few more instructions.

According to rumors these days, this legendary engineer from Spring Armory also knows traditional Chinese medicine and qigong, and possesses strengths in both East and West. He is now treating children with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.Seeing that he can make patients easily cough up pus, phlegm or even effusion in the lungs with just a touch of his hand, even if they don't believe his words, they can't help but believe it a little bit.

Xu En once glanced around, and found that there were a few foreigners standing not far away, all of them were dressed luxuriously. The eyes of those foreigners were fixed on those who were being continuously drawn out of the potion and gradually became empty. On the medicine bottle, everyone looked wildly.

Xu Enzeng could see it, it was the miser's eyes when he saw the gold coin.

Xu En once asked: "Who are these foreigners?"

"The one on the left is the agent of DuPont in the concession, American, Mr. William. The one on the right is Mr. Rudolph, the representative of Bayer Company, and the one in the middle is the British, Mr. Harry, the representative of Johnson & Johnson. They are all It is the director or agent of the foreign pharmaceutical factory in the foreign concession, all for Miss Elena, to be precise, for the tuberculosis medicine she brought out!"

"I see."

Xu Enzeng had roughly guessed what was going on.

It has been nearly two months since Elena appeared in Shanghai Tang. She has long been famous in Shanghai Tang for her beauty, riding skills, charity and "richness".Recently, because of his miraculous "palace secret skin beauty technique", all the women in Shanghai have been driven crazy.Numerous celebrities and wives of Shanghai Bund lined up to her private residence for skin care. Those who were lucky enough to receive treatment and maintenance were all full of praise afterwards.Now she and his "man" have long been guests at the homes of senior government officials in Shanghai or Nanjing. Even the eldest and third child of the three Song sisters who live in Nanjing have heard their legends and plan to find an opportunity to visit Shanghai. .

Such a character, even Xu Enzeng, the overlord of Shanghai's top secret service, knows that he cannot be easily provoked.He came to watch the scene purely out of the instinct and intuition of a spy.

"A foreign woman who came to China from a long distance, gave foreign medicines that cost dozens of times more than gold, and gave them to the children of poor ghosts for no money..."

In Xu Enzeng's view, this is really abnormal.

In fact, more than a month ago, when he said that Elena opened an orphanage in Shanghai Beach, spent money crazily for charity, and adopted hundreds of orphans at one go, he felt weird and habitually went to " I thought about it for a few seconds on "Communications Bank Robbery".It’s just that this guess was ridiculous later on: A robber who can take out such advanced weapons to rob, but instead of spending the money he robbed, only used it to open a charity house to adopt children—this kind of thing is probably only the Communist Party. It is only possible for members to do it...

Xu Enzeng's attendant was named Chen Jianzhong, and his former identity was actually the Communist Party—in fact, the second team of the "Central Unification" Bureau (later changed to the second office) was all traitors from the CCP, from the team leader to the small spies. "Famous" include Chen Jianzhong, Du Heng, Guo Qianhui, Zhou Guangya, Xian Taiqi, Wang Weili, Fan Zhenzhong, Zou Chunsheng and others.And within the Central Committee, traitors to the CCP also accounted for a large proportion, even Xu Enzeng's concubine Fei Xia was a traitor!

He whispered in Xu Enzeng's ear: "The origin of these two people is unknown, but they are really rich."

He rubbed his lips in the direction of the directors of the three foreign pharmaceutical companies in China.

"They call the drug for treating tuberculosis streptomycin. These three foreigners are fighting for the agency rights of this drug these days. When I got the news, they are fighting for the agency rights of this drug. , has already offered a sky-high price for one injection and one small yellow croaker, but this Miss Elena ignored it, and instead gave free injections and medicines to these children every day here..."

"One needle and one small yellow croaker?"

Hearing this number, Xu Enzeng couldn't help but twitch his face. 900 people are 31.25 "little yellow croakers".The so-called small yellow croaker is a small gold bar. A "small yellow croaker" in the Republic of China weighed 40 grams (the large yellow croaker is a large gold bar, ten times the weight), which is equivalent to about 50 oceans and [-] US dollars.The U.S. dollar before World War II was not just paper compared to the current green bill. It was called U.S. dollars at that time, and it could really be exchanged for gold. The value is about [-] to [-] times that of the modern U.S. dollar.

"Then it is absolutely impossible for these two people to be members of the Communist Party. No matter how much those poor ghosts yell at the local tyrants to divide the land, it is impossible for them to take out [-] gold bars in the current environment where they are being wiped out by the chairman of the bandits. He ran to Shanghai to spend money!"

Xu Enzeng immediately ruled out the suspicion that the two were members of the Communist Party, and then another idea came up: Zhang Xiaolin was robbed and murdered, only one of Zhang's youngest sons and married daughters survived in Nanjing. , the younger son said afterwards that Zhang Xiaolin's secret room and safe in the villa were all ransacked, and even the safe was gone.One of the largest smokehouse casinos in the concession (the two are integrated) was also looted, and the loss of antiques exceeded millions of oceans, which is also an astonishing wealth.

"If they did this, they would really be able to afford the money. But the person who can develop this kind of magic drug, shouldn't take such a risk for this little money, right?"

As soon as the thought of doubt popped up, Xu Enzeng suppressed it.He knew that although this Chinese-Western couple was a bit weird, it was definitely not something he could easily provoke.Not to mention, just because of their "real ability" to help a bunch of high-ranking officials' wives and ladies "beautify", even if it is found out that they did this, when Xu En Zeng went to arrest people, he had to think twice .

Because he didn't want to offend the wives and ladies of these high-ranking officials, and he was also afraid that they would speak ill of their husbands or fathers and blow their pillows.

At this time, the on-site diagnosis and treatment had been completed, and the patients and their families began to leave. The three foreigners immediately surrounded Elena and Huang Ke, and then murmured something in English. You don’t need to guess, you must know it again. It is for the agency rights of this "miracle medicine".

"Let's start from other places. Maybe Wang Yaqiao did it. In Shanghai, he is the only one who has the ability to do this kind of thing..."

Xu Enzeng didn't want to be troublesome and decided to leave.He has been really annoying recently. He was planning to carry out the fourth "clean-up" of the underground party in Shanghai in order to report to the chairman of the committee. Who knew that the two major cases that popped up suddenly put all the pressure on him. It just bored him to death.

Xu En once belonged to the brother of Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, and was in charge of spy work.The "Blue Shirt Club" established by Dai Li was actually a subordinate branch of the Central Committee.As Dai Li became more and more favored, recently Xu En had heard rumors that Chang Kaishen was planning to separate the Blue Shirts Society from the Central Command and set up a separate spy department.

Xu En once understood that this was the intentional separation of powers by the emperor's mind.At this juncture, he really didn't want to make any more monsters come out and cause big trouble.

But before he left, he ordered one of his secret agents to help him pay more attention to the movement of Elena Orphanage.

And that night, Xu En once received a message from his subordinates: Just this evening, Soong Ailing, the elder sister of the chairman's wife, who is also the wife of the Minister of Finance and Premier Kong Xiangxi, brought her eldest daughter, Kong Lingyi, to Shanghai. I personally visited the mysterious Miss "Eileen" and lived there with my daughter that night.The next day, Mrs. Kong, who was in a happy mood because of her "improve appearance", made a swipe of a pen and directly donated up to [-] oceans to Elena's orphanage.

Now, Xu Enzeng, the spy chief, has no idea of ​​doubting the identities of the two...

Because he knew very well that the first lady of the Republic of China would find her soon after receiving the "good news" from her sister. looking for trouble.......

* * * *

Xiao Huang Ke, who was located in 1935, only understood the history of the underground party during this period after receiving the information provided by Da Huang Ke, especially the revolutionary memoir written by Pastor Dong and his family.

Pastor Dong's immediate upper line is called Puhua people.

In February 1935, after the Shanghai Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China was severely damaged, he served as a member of the Shanghai Provisional Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China (also known as the Five-member Group) and head of the Propaganda Department in March, and was one of the members in charge of daily work. From May to July, he served as a member of the Shanghai Provisional Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China (also known as the Three-member Group) and head of the Propaganda Department. In July, when the Shanghai Central Bureau of the Communist Party of China and the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee were severely damaged again, they were arrested and detained in the Nanjing Kuomintang Central Military Prison.After Feng Yuxiang rescued him, he was released in 2.

After this comrade was arrested, he never betrayed the revolution and betrayed his comrades, so Pastor Dong was lucky to escape.Compared with other comrades who were less vigilant, the Fuhua people deliberately "lost contact" with Pastor Dong and cut off contact.

The reason is simple: the underground organization in Shanghai has suffered successive sabotages, each time almost completely annihilated. He, who has more experience in fighting, has already realized that the organization has infiltrated spies and turned out traitors, and he has not been traced out.

It stands to reason that after a series of major sabotage incidents occurred in an underground organization in a region.If you don't straighten it out carefully and clean it up, you will directly rebuild it on the original basis, which is simply a suicide-like act of death.

But in the party organization under the control of Wang Ming's left-leaning thinking, a group of young upper-level people in their early 30s and 27s with no experience, layman's command and expert command blindly, the underground work in Shanghai at that time was just like this. (Bogu was 31 years old at this time, and Wang Ming was only [-] years old)

Huang Ke, a future man, when looking at the history of the party during this period, compares the ages of those notorious left-leaning adventurists in later generations. The first feeling is not that these people are incompetent, but that these people are real. It is "young" that is exaggerated, even to the point of "reckless".

You can imagine that in the party organization in 1935, one of the top leaders was born in 1904 (Wang Ming), and the other was born in 1907 (Bo Gu). They were around 1933 when they were messing around.These two guys with just long hair on their mouths are pitifully short in party age and have no fighting experience. How did they easily skip a lot of qualifications and experience, all of which are far superior to theirs? The senior came to power like lightning?

Even a genius like the one who cannot mention his name has many shortcomings and childishness when he is young.And such a big organization actually let such two extremely young and immature guys go on stage and mess around!

There must be a lot of tricks in the middle.

The reason is nothing more than the so-called Soviet faction, 28 and a half, and the reason why Mifu, the head of the Chinese branch of the Communist International who was shot by Stalin not long after, messed around.

——Of course, in this process, some people also have extremely heavy responsibilities.The real history in the middle is actually very complicated and weird.

And in this period, after successive damages, the so-called "temporary central government" had to be set up in Shanghai, and it was like "casually" finding a few people to build such a grass-roots team, and its "political significance" was far greater than that of practical purpose.

When Da Huangke discussed this period of history with netizens on the Internet in 2010, some netizens put forward very sharp opinions.

"The so-called Shanghai Temporary Central Committee was actually built as an image project for Stalin to see! Because the significance of this location in Shanghai is too great. With the relationship between China and the Soviet Union and the Communist International at that time, if Stalin knew this important The branch of the company was taken over by someone in Shanghai, and they couldn’t stay any longer. How would they feel if they were fucked up? They were destroyed three times in a row in just one year. Any fool would know that there must be a big problem inside. There must be spies and traitors, and it cannot be rebuilt without cleaning up the interior. Why do we have to give away heads and force local organizations to rebuild again and again? Isn’t it just to fool Stalin and tell them that we are fine here?”

"Miff and Wang Ming, these two bastards, sacrificed their comrades in Shanghai for their own self-interest."

Huang Ke felt that it was the most reasonable to understand this period of history in this way.

Therefore, Mif was shot and killed by Stalin later, and his death was really not wronged at all!Stalin was not an idiot either, he could be fooled for a while, but then the Chinese revolution fell into such a bad trough, and the so-called Soviet factions headed by Miff and the so-called Soviet Union led him to toss around, one day he will recall it.

So after the Central Red Army reconnected with the Soviet Union in 1936, Stalin personally paid attention to this matter and directly expressed his support for the teachers, and Wang Ming gradually fell out of favor.

But now there is still a year before 1936, and Wang Ming's nonsense is still going on.

In this difficult period, faced with the fuss of "distant revolutionaries" hiding in Moscow for medical treatment at critical moments, Fuhua people also tried their best to protect the remaining party members in the Shanghai area as much as possible.

The "lost contact" with Pastor Dong was intentional in order to keep the seeds.In fact, he himself, during this period, was very vigilant towards the comrades around him, and strongly felt the infiltration of the organization by the Central Union spies.

During this period, although the underground organizations in Shanghai "recovered" on the surface, they lost the support of the central base, and the source of funding was also a big problem. Historically, after the Ruijin base was established, a large amount of activity funds were sent to the Shanghai area every year.

Before Huang Ke came to look for Pastor Dong, Pastor Dong's family had a very hard time. In fact, the entire Shanghai Party organization and various departments were also struggling. In addition, Wang Ming, a "remote revolutionist", made random remote control and blind instructions, making it even more difficult. Incomparable.

During this period, the method adopted by the Fuhua people is to passively fight against the bullshit of the upper echelon. To put it simply, it is to do nothing, not to contact comrades, and to avoid contacting offline as much as possible, but to focus on searching for possible traitors in the organization Or the spy body.

After a busy day, Fuhua returned home. Because he is proficient in English, his current cover job is to act as an interpreter for foreigners and compradors in the concession.In the severely damaged Shanghai party organization, there are very few party members with a decent income.But now that the source of funding for the organization has been cut off, most of the money he earns is used to help other comrades, so he is also living a very hard life.

As for his "offline", Pastor Dong has recently climbed up to a mysterious "foreign princess". People in Fuhua also have rumors, and even saw him and Lao Shen moving in and out of Elena's orphanage from a distance. .As Elena and Huang Ke became more and more famous in Shanghai Bund and got closer to the upper echelons of the Cannon Party, the Fuhua people, relying on their keen and rich experience in underground work, also realized the significance of this new hidden front. important value.

For the reason of protecting this line, Fuhua has been trying hard to suppress his urge to reconnect with Pastor Dong.Even on the way home today, when he saw Pastor Dong mingling with the "new favorite" couple in Shanghai and conducting charity clinics with great fanfare, he didn't want to get back in touch.

"This is likely to be a very important new line for our future underground work!"

"And now this so-called Shanghai Temporary Central..."

He sighed inwardly.

At this time, the so-called Shanghai Temporary Central Committee, Liu Zhonghua (cadre of the central (crab) army (crab) committee), He Changzhi (cadre of the Central Special Section), and Puhuaren (cadre of the Central Propaganda Department) are also an alternative group of three.

He has a lot of airs, and his name sounds scary, but in fact, those who can directly command are dozens of party members in the Shanghai area.Funding and manpower have all fallen to the lowest point in history—they are almost unable to afford food, which is the biggest embarrassment they face.

Under such circumstances, the long-distance revolutionary in Moscow is still sending out instructions, asking them to come up with "big news" here. The siege troops were distracted.

"Actually, this is to show Stalin that our organization in Shanghai still exists and has activities. It has not been wiped out, right?"

This is Huang Ke's thoughts when he listened to the interpretation of netizens and saw this history in later generations.After careful and in-depth analysis of this period of history, Huang Ke finally understood why when the history textbook mentioned this period of time when he was a teenager, why did he give such a statement as "the underground organizations in the White Area also suffered heavy losses under the guidance of Wang Ming" evaluation of.

Originally, Huang Ke didn't intend to spend energy to save this group of underground parties who had been targeted by the Central Union spies.

There is no other reason: math problems.

There were only 39 of them, and no matter how hard they tried to save them, there would be only 39 of them.And there are now [-] red troops in northern Sichuan who are short of medical care and medicine. If he brought supplies one day earlier, he could save countless people.Although cold, it is a choice that has to be made.

However, when he took this idea as the plot idea of ​​the novel, as the plot outline, and posted it on the Internet, although most of the netizens thought his choice was right, one netizen's brainstorming idea reminded Huang gram.

"This temporary central trio, according to the original historical plan, was going to Moscow. During this period, the Soviet Union was undergoing a major purge, and neither Miff nor Wang Ming had a good life. And if the protagonist saves these people If you have them, they are the best messengers. If they work well, you can..."
