At 8 pm on June 8, 1943, Xiyuan, Peking.

After Xie Chengrui, Chief of Staff of the Army, Lu Zhuoran, Deputy Director of the Political Department, Song Li, Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Wang Xueqin, Vice Member of the Administrative Committee, and Jiang Dong left with the army, these four people became the core leadership of Peiping.

That night, four people gathered in Xie Chengrui's office at the same time, looking solemn.

Chief of Staff Xie Chengrui glanced at the time and asked with slightly narrowed eyes:

"Are you all ready?"

"The special operations team is in place!"

"The army has arrived at the predetermined location and is ready to take action at any time!"

"Administrative, publicity and emergency response teams are all ready!"

The three of them spoke one after another, and their words were decisive.

A look of satisfaction appeared on Xie Chengrui's face, he nodded and said:

"I have already asked the commander-in-chief for instructions. He is fully involved in our actions and hopes we can achieve good results."

The eyes of Lu Zhuoran and others became serious.

Xie Chengrui said again:

"The people's will is what the general trend is. There is nothing to hesitate. At two o'clock tonight, the operation will officially begin."

"Lu Zhuoran is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the operation and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Song Li operation. Lao Wang and I will stay in Peking to control the overall situation!"

"yes!!!"

That night, Lu Zhuoran and Song Li left Peiping by plane and arrived in Wuhan, the central city in central China, before early morning.

At 2 a.m., the action officially begins!

Chongqing!

"Bang!"

The door of the villa was knocked open with brute force, making a huge noise.

The owner who was resting in bed woke up from his sleep and sat up in panic.

"Kakaka..."

After a few unexplained sounds, the villa fell into silence again.

The owner looked at the door tremblingly, and soon a group of men in black filed in.

They wore very conspicuous spy uniforms, with bulging bags on their waists, and they obviously carried guns.

The owner of the villa was frightened by the battle, his lips were trembling a little, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

A leader-looking man stood expressionlessly beside the bed, spread out a piece of paper and said:

"Chen Fujun, General Manager of Express Company!"

Chen Fujun on the bed didn't know why and nodded subconsciously.

"After investigation, Chen Fujun resold 8 tons of Allied aid materials to China on August 11, 1939, making a profit of 910,000 yuan. This has seriously constituted the crime of reselling materials during wartime!"

"Chen Fujun is now arrested and brought to trial for his crime!"

"Beiping Supreme People's Procuratorate, June 8, 1943!"

After finishing speaking, the leader showed the red seal on the paper in front of Chen Fujun for half a second, then quickly picked up the paper and waved his hand.

The men in black swarmed up, tied Chen Fujun tightly in a few moments, and dragged him outside the door.

"Beiping???"

Chen Fujun was stunned for a few more seconds. His body twisted instinctively and resisted bending, and his face was filled with confusion.

In the end, only a few words lingered in my mind: Judgment according to crime!

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, he opened his mouth and shouted:

"Do you know who I am? I am the general manager of Express Company, and 70% of the entire southwest transportation industry is in the hands of our company..."

No one paid attention to his words and just dragged Chen Fujun out in silence.

In panic, Chen Fujun's brain was spinning rapidly.

'These people are obviously well prepared, and my identity must have been clearly investigated. What should I do? I can't let them take me away like this. There must be something they don't know?'

As his mind raced, Chen Fujun quickly thought of something and said:

"Director Liu of the Executive Yuan is my brother-in-law, you can't arrest me!"

The arrest operation did not stop. The leader looked at Chen Fujun with a half-smile, which made the hair on Chen Fujun's body stand on end.

"Are you telling us that the so-called general manager of the transportation company is working for Director Liu of the Executive Yuan? He is the real vested interest?"

Chen Fujun was choked to silence and his eyes were dull.

As a senior general manager, he seemed to understand a few things.

I didn’t dare to worry about my brother-in-law anymore, so I shouted at the top of my lungs:

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me? Help!"

A piece of rag was stuffed into his mouth, and the general manager of Express Company became completely quiet.

In the early morning of June 9th, there was an undercurrent surging under the darkness, and countless people were busy running around.

The General Staff Headquarters in Peiping is brightly lit, as is the Wuhan Operations Command.

Many deputy directors and division directors of the Central Command and Military Command Intelligence Bureau were woken up from their beds by an urgent phone call.

When the sun shone across the earth on June 9, the first phase of the operation in Peiping was over.

At 9 a.m., just as it was time to go to work, Dai Li hurried to the office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.

"Principal, something happened?"

The principal's brows twitched, as if he felt something in his heart. Unknowingly, his breathing became suppressed. He used his eyes to signal Dai Li to stop talking nonsense and get down to business.

"More than 200 people disappeared in Chongqing, Chengdu and Kunming last night. These people are directors and general managers of major companies!"

The principal did not interrupt and listened patiently to Dai Li's story.

"After a thorough overnight investigation by the Military Command Bureau, it was discovered that these people have another layer of identity."

"Most of them have contacts with government and military officials. Almost everyone arrested is a business agent of several major families!"

"Who caught them?" the principal asked, actually he already had a guess in his mind.

"Caught by Peiping!"

The arrest operation lasted for two or three hours, but what is surprising is that during the entire operation, Chongqing's secret service, security team, police, etc. did not notice anything.

More than 200 people were quietly escorted out of the city by the other party, and they were taken to who knows where.

Dai Li omitted the parts related to his responsibilities and only talked about the key points.

The Chairman's brows furrowed deeply, but the worse news was yet to come.

"Principal, last night, while a group of business agents disappeared, five divisions of troops were dispatched from Wuhan and entered Hunan and Jiangxi provinces in a big way!"

"What does Jiangdong want to do?"

As soon as the words came out, the principal felt something was wrong. Isn't Kodong in Europe?

Dai Li took a deep breath and reported the last news:

"The Military Command Bureau has received information that Hunan and Jiangxi provinces will hold a referendum today to leave the National Government and join Peiping!"

"The army should be here to protect the people's referendum!"
Chapter completed!
