Chapter 113 Section 9

However, Mao Renfeng's wishful thinking was wrong. Although Zhao Bincheng, the special agent he sent, bought a cleaner named Zhou Ju at Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport with a huge sum of 600,000 Hong Kong dollars, and then planted a time bomb while the "Kashmir Princess" was refueling, but , due to changes in work arrangements, Premier Zhou temporarily transferred to another plane.As a result, apart from the well-known writer Zheng Zhenduo and more than ten people who were killed, the plan to assassinate Premier Zhou fell through. Disappointed, Chiang Kai-shek was furious, "Mao Renfeng, take me to Indonesia immediately and get rid of Zhou Enlai."

Mao Renfeng was trembling, and sent a killer to sneak to Jakarta. At this time, Zhou Enlai notified the truth of the "Kashmir Princess" incident to other countries at the Bandung Conference, and Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru strongly condemned the terrorist actions of the US-Chiang authorities.Subsequently, many countries in the world denounced Chiang Kai-shek through diplomatic channels.The Kuomintang authorities became the target of public criticism, and they were in a panic for a while. On the third day of the meeting, the Chinese delegation received an anonymous letter signed by "Assassin team member who has recovered from reflection".The letter stated that the Kuomintang authorities had bought 28 exiled former Kuomintang mid- and lower-level officers in Indonesia to form a "death-death assassination group" to kill Zhou Enlai.

The Chinese delegation immediately stepped up its vigilance and notified the Indonesian government and the Indonesian Communist Party of the situation.The Indonesian government immediately sent an army captain as the personal security officer, who was responsible for protecting Zhou Enlai.And sent 7 escort motorcycles.At the same time, the Indonesian Communist Party also sent a large number of backbones to participate in the defense work.In this way, an iron wall was formed around Zhou Enlai, and Mao Renfeng had no way to do assassination any more. After the Bandung Conference, Zhou Enlai returned safely.After Chiang Kai-shek heard the news, he asked Mao Renfeng to scold him.Since then, Mao Renfeng's status in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes has plummeted, and he can no longer get the kind of favor he used to be.

House seemingly endless rain.After Mao Renfeng fell out of favor with Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo played with fire from the sidelines, unable to restrain his inner excitement, and prepared to completely seize the power of intelligence and governance from Mao Renfeng. Mao Renfeng was worried, and of course he would not sit still.In desperation, he actually conspired to kidnap Chiang Ching-kuo in an attempt to color the opponent with the hooligan methods commonly used by the military command. The reason for this is that Mao Renfeng's Secret Bureau has a senior agent named Du Changcheng, who used to be the blasting captain under Zheng Jiemin of the Second Department of the Ministry of National Defense. In 1949, during the battle of Siping, he followed Chen Mingren to organize the blasting. Because Lin Biao was not well prepared at that time, and he was not familiar with street fighting, the Siping attack failed. Du Changcheng, like Chen Mingren, was very proud for a while.Later, when Chiang Kai-shek fled to the mainland, he ordered Mao Renfeng to conspire to carry out the plan to bomb Chengdu.Du Changcheng got on the line with Mao Renfeng.

At that time, Du Changcheng brought more than ten blasting team members, more than 300 tons of explosives and 100,000 gallons of gasoline from the Second Office of the National Defense Department of the Nanjing Kuomintang to Chengdu in a hurry, planning to burn the whole of Chengdu after Chiang Kai-shek's withdrawal. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was fighting a trapped beast, declaring that "not a single plant or tree can be left to the Communist Party."Mao Renfeng actively accepted this intention and ordered Du Changcheng and the army to unify and implement it. At first, Du Changcheng believed that he was not bound by the military command, so he didn't buy Mao Renfeng's account.Mao Renfeng actively wooed Du Changcheng by adopting both soft and hard methods, sealing officials and making wishes. He said to Du Changcheng: "You have been a colonel in the Second Hall for four years. If you came to our military command, you would have been a major general already."

Du Changcheng bowed his head and put his ear to his ears, and actively approached Mao Renfeng.Later, because our People's Liberation Army pushed into Chengdu from all sides, and the underground party and the people tried their best to protect it, Chiang Kai-shek fled to Taiwan with Mao Renfeng in a hurry.Du Changcheng and others wished that his parents would lose two feet, so he abandoned the bombing plan, spent a lot of money on management, and finally escaped to Taipei. Chiang Kai-shek's plan to bomb Chengdu was aborted. After escaping to Taiwan, Mao Renfeng kept his promise and recruited Du Changcheng to the military command. Not only was he promoted to major general, but he was also a confidant.

Du Changcheng was originally a greedy person. Seeing that Mao Renfeng and Jiang Jingguo were in conflict, he was in a hurry and wanted to please his master, so he came up with an idea, using the old military method-kidnapping-to plot to kidnap Jiang Jingguo , He did it without anyone noticing, and then Mao Renfeng came forward to rescue Jiang Jingguo and solve a big case.One can teach Chiang Ching-kuo a lesson, and the other can claim credit and receive rewards from Chiang Kai-shek, showing the capabilities of Mao Renfeng and his military commander. At this time, Mao Renfeng had already lost his mind and didn't care about the consequences of failure.Sure enough, when Du Changcheng was actually operating the conspiracy, the matter was not confidential, and he was suspected of gold smuggling, which was detected by Jiang Jingguo's subordinates.This was like stabbing a hornet's nest. Apart from resentment, Jiang Jingguo couldn't hide his joy. He wrote a report on the confession made by torturing Du Changcheng and the specific plan to kidnap him, and reported it to Chiang Kai-shek.

Father and son are required to go into battle. Chiang Kai-shek is ready to train his son to be the successor of the Chiang family. How can he tolerate someone doing such a trick, let alone his subordinates who have followed him for decades. Looking back at the beginning of Chiang Ching-kuo's involvement in the intelligence and governance system, Chen Lifu was originally a veteran of the Kuomintang and the head of the CC department.More importantly, Chen Lifu's uncle, Chen Qimei, was the first warlord of Shanghai after the liberation. Before Chiang Kai-shek's prosperity, Chen Qimei was able to sneak into the Kuomintang and achieve his future success because of Chen Qimei's strong support and recommendation.After Chen Qimei was assassinated, Chiang Kai-shek wept bitterly, and then sent his two nephews, Chen Lifu and Chen Guofu, to study in the United States, and later recruited them to his side as confidants.The Chen brothers were able to enter the center of Chiang's power.

Even with such a historical background and origin, when Chen Lifu became a stumbling block in Chiang Ching-kuo's official career, Chiang Kai-shek stood by his son without hesitation, forcing Chen Lifu to leave office and go into exile overseas. Now, Mao Renfeng and a special agent of Juntong used such extraordinary means to deal with his son, of course Chiang Kai-shek would not take it lightly.Therefore, he approved in the report to "clean up the military command and order Du Changcheng to be shot immediately."Then, in a fit of rage, he planned to arrest Mao Renfeng as well.
