Chapter 163 Informal "front line" and "field service"

Dai Li has a variety of informal organizations in Chongqing, including a chain of food stores called "Yumin Rice Store", which is actually a rice storage warehouse, and the Feihong Photo Studio near Shanshanba Airport. Photo gallery of photos of suspected travelers. Most restaurant owners in the wartime capital of Chongqing had informal ties to the military, but some of the largest were actually run by military officials: the Queen's Restaurant was opened by military agent Xu Zhongwu (he also opened a dance hall on Datong Street ); the Xinweiyu Restaurant on Zourong Road and the Weiyu Restaurant on Minsheng Road are owned by Shen Xifeng, the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade; and the Kaigegui Restaurant was opened by Li Yueyang, a graduate of the Huangpu Military Academy. Places to go.In addition, most of the hotel service staff, especially those in the Shengli Building, the largest hotel in Chongqing, are all "running the second row" run by military special agents.

These unofficial cover agencies and semi-agents are all under the jurisdiction of the Chongqing Special Economic Zone (Chongqing Special Zone).The District is responsible for field operations, and its field personnel report directly to the Inspectorate.Jiang Shaomo is the head of the Chongqing Special Zone, and the district headquarters is located at No. 32 Laojie, which was the second office of the Southwest Military and Political Administration before the war. Now it is the base of the "ugly network" or "huge invisible network" that the military command operates locally. center.There are 40 to 45 senior intelligence officials in this office, and they are in charge of all the military personnel in the city, including people from the democratic parties and some "traitors" from the Communist Party.The special zone itself was divided into five regional groups, the most important of which was the Xijiao Group Office, which was responsible for monitoring the Communist Party's Hongyan village and the Xinhua Daily office.Due to the inability of the Western Suburbs Group to collect intelligence about the Communist Party in Hongyan Village, District Chief Jiang suggested to Shen Zui that he issue guns to his agents (under normal circumstances, plainclothes field personnel do not wear guns) to induce the Communist Party to open fire on them.In this way, he said, after the scuffle, the military commanders could rush into Communist villages and search their territory.Shen Zui reported the plan to his superiors, and Dai Li became angry when he heard about it. He called Jiang a "big bucket" and accused Shen Zui of approving such a stupid plan: "You are fooling around! We can fight the Communist Party by these methods. Is it the purpose? If you are killed, you will be killed for nothing, if you are injured, you deserve it! Don’t make any decisions on this!"

Therefore, Dai Li's headquarters will relatively strictly control the actual political surveillance of the regular agents of the military reunification.However, the military command is relatively relaxed in places where the "outer elements" are active, and they are almost all over Chongqing. These spies and spies everywhere are very active in searching for people suspected of being "progressive", so as to maintain them as the "second row" of the military command. meager wages.Not only did these undisciplined watchers use their distant connections to the military to blackmail; they knew that if they didn't get at least one or two intelligence reports a year, they would be dismissed.As a result, ordinary citizens were in danger of being reported, knowing that they would be followed if they went out, and that, at least when they were visiting relatives and friends, their presence would be reported to the higher secret police authorities by their nosy neighbors.At the same time, all letters, telegrams and telephone calls are under surveillance.
