Li Kenong shook hands with Colonel **, and the prime minister was angry: If he is exposed, you will be responsible.
Your behavior is unorganized and undisciplined"。**'s sword eyebrows tightened, staring at ** who walked into the conference room in a soldier's standard posture and reported to him**, his face was full of anger, and he scolded loudly.
**and** are old friends with deep personal relations, but in this Asian-African meeting, ** made *** angry because of a reckless decision. At that time, ** was on his way to the Asian-African Conference when he suddenly received a telegram informing him that a military coup had taken place in Algeria.
Although it is unclear the background of the coup d'état and whether it involves a "superpower", **, when ordered to understand the situation, insisted that "the Asian-African conference must be held, and it must be held well".
Although everyone has their own problems and difficulties, no one can pack a ticket when faced with an emergency. **'s decision made people feel shocked and helpless, and it also made *** angry at him.
* Because he has won the trust of Asian and African countries for China, he must be cautious in his words and deeds, and there must be no omissions. When one of his wrongdoings was discovered, he was harshly criticized and even harshly warned.
And Li Kenong was scolded because of a seemingly insignificant greeting, which made him very nervous, and he couldn't let go of it even in his old age. This is because in the eyes of ***, ** is above all else, and any behavior that may threaten *** cannot be ignored.
Li Kenong is a powerful figure in **, and his heroic deeds even went deep into the tiger's den and promoted the national war of resistance. When deciding on this matter, Bai Chongxi ignored his disgruntled subordinates, but just glanced at Xie Hegeng, and the two left Li Zongren's residence one after the other.
Bai Chongxi said to Xie Hegeng: "Hegeng, following me may make you feel a little wronged, but you have done a very good job, no matter how others object, I will take you with me when I go to Nanjing." ”
Seeing Bai Chongxi's serious expression, Xie Hegeng wanted to laugh a little, but he shook his arm and pretended to be serious. However, his arm did have some soreness.
On December 12, 1936, Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng launched a "military admonition" in Xi'an, successfully making Chiang Kai-shek pretend to accept the idea of the United Communist Party to resist Japan.
Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng released Chiang Kai-shek in order to fulfill their wishes, but they were detained by the treacherous Chiang. What is even more suspicious is that in July 1937, Chiang Kai-shek actually invited the Gui warlords Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi to Nanjing to discuss anti-Japanese matters, making it difficult to judge his true intentions.
At this time, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren faced the same dilemma as Zhang Xueliang, and they were in a dilemma.
In Li Zongren's official residence, Chiang Kai-shek offered advice one after another in order to achieve a two-pronged policy, but no consensus was reached. All parties are anxious, and Xie Hegeng, who is Bai Chongxi's "secretary", is even more anxious, but he is not just talking, but has a clear goal - to urge Bai Chongxi to go.
Bai Chongxi's presence was crucial to the formation of the nation's anti-Japanese war line, and it was also the way out for China. However, Chiang Kai-shek was suspicious, how to achieve this goal inadvertently?
After careful consideration, Xie Hegeng decided to write a sincere letter to Bai Chongxi. He was aware of his low status, but still decided to make an effort in the right place.
For Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren, what they were concerned about was not the national war of resistance, but the secret contest with Chiang Kai-shek. Although they were ostensibly good friends, Chiang Kai-shek had always wanted to suppress them, and the Gui family had been trapped in Guangxi and could not get out of this place.
Under such circumstances, Xie Hegeng subtly emphasized in his letter the importance of realizing the national war of resistance, so as to help the Gui faction no longer be confined to Guangxi and penetrate into Chiang Kai-shek's territory to contend with it.
This idea of his was deeply understood and appreciated by Bai Chongxi, and he decided to go to Nanjing to meet with Chiang Kai-shek. As his brain trust, Xie and Geng naturally followed him, and the two took a plane to Nanjing on August 4.
Chairman Chiang and General Bai, this is what Xie Hegeng wants. As an underground member of the CCP and a secret of our party in the Kuomintang army, he must understand the true thoughts of the Kuomintang on the anti-Japanese alliance.
His immediate supervisor is none other than ***
**Xie Hegeng is well versed in uniting all forces that can be united, and for the anti-Japanese united front, he went to Nanjing with Bai Chongxi. Although Chiang Kai-shek was under his nose, he was still able to report the internal activities of the Kuomintang to our party in a timely manner.
Chiang Kai-shek thought he was in control of the overall situation, but his so-called plans had already been cracked by our party one by one. With his ingenuity, Xie Hegeng successfully broke into the upper echelons of the Gui faction and, through a series of actions, increased the dependence of Bai Chongxi and the Kuomintang.
He was an instant hit, and then took closer action, successfully becoming Bai Chongxi's celebrity, and determined to maintain the title of "Zhuge behind the scenes" to the end. Soon after, a "Proposal for a Program for the General Mobilization of the Whole People" was placed on Bai Chongxi's desk.
Looking at the puzzled expression on Bai Chongxi's face, Xie Hegeng raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said softly: "You have time, open it and take a look, I'll go back first." ”
Before Xie Hegeng could sit down, Bai Chongxi sent someone to invite him back. "Brother He, you and I have a deep brotherly relationship, and I completely agree with this program," Bai Chongxi said with a smile.
Xie Hegeng smiled slightly and replied, "There is still one thing that needs to be modified. Then in front of Bai Chongxi, the signature was changed to the confidential secretary of the deputy chief of staff of Bai. Bai Chongxi smiled happily, although he didn't do anything, he had an extra credit.
Chiang Kai-shek, who received this proposal, praised it again and again, and inquired about Xie Hegeng's military rank and position, hinting at his intention to promote him.
As an underground functionary of our party, Xie Hegeng could have avoided participating in such a matter that was beneficial to the morale of the Kuomintang military. On the surface, this seems to be only support for the Kuomintang, which is what a shallow person like Chiang Kai-shek can see.
However, if you read the full text carefully, you will find that Xie Hegeng only encouraged the whole army to work together to win the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan, and there was nothing disparaging about the Communist Party in the whole text.
This was somewhat unusual in the Kuomintang, because this was the task entrusted to Xie Hegeng by the party, that is, to launch the anti-Japanese propaganda work and anti-Japanese cultural movement of the people of the whole country without being discovered.
Xie Hegeng won the praise of Chiang Kai-shek with his profound writing skills, and at the same time, he also used the mouth of the Kuomintang to spread the trend of the anti-Japanese national united front, which was really ingenious.
With his outstanding performance, Xie Hegeng won trust in front of Chiang Kai-shek. He showed what he was capable of, which gave him a boost to his credibility. In March 1938, Bai Chongxi talked to Xie and Geng, and there were two confidential personnel next to him.
Xie and Geng recognized that they were all people who spoke with a pen. Before he could figure out Bai Chongxi's intentions, Bai Chongxi had already directly stated his request. "Brothers, in the coming week, you have only one task, that is, to write a speech on the topic of "The Relationship between the Political Work of the Army and the Political Work of the Masses", and I will select the best one from your works and present it at the meeting of the officer training group at and above the division level. ”
Xie Hegeng accepted the challenge without hesitation. It took him three days and three nights to write the first draft of 14,000 words. However, Bai Chongxi asked him to speak at the meeting of the officer training group at and above the division level, which put Xie Hegeng under a certain amount of pressure.
People of military achievement are often arrogant and reluctant to listen to lengthy speeches, and the content should be concise. Xie Hegeng read the undeleted word many times, and when he was anxious, he remembered his political work experience in the Whampoa Military Academy, and thought that he could not compare, so he found Li Kenong and handed over the speech to the Eighth Route Army Office.
Xie Hegeng is known as the "King of Spies", and Li Kenong also lived up to expectations and delivered the speech to *** in time. In order to make Xie Hegeng successful again, ** did not delay, hurriedly annotated and revised the speech, and returned it to Xie Hegeng the next day.
However, when Xie Hegeng saw the speech, he shed tears. This is because he sees *** seriousness. ** More than 2,000 words were deleted with a red pen, which were full of radical accusations against the political work of the Kuomintang army, crossing out his anger, but retaining Xie Hegeng's safety.
** attaches great importance to this speech, and Xie Hegeng has made full preparations for it. However, when he handed over the speech to Bai Chongxi, Bai Chongxi seemed a little cold.
Even in the car, he still held three speeches in his hand, and he looked very rigorous. When Bai Chongxi began to speak, Xie and Geng understood that their position was not ideal and that they might not be able to compare to the other two contestants.
Although Xie Hegeng's success also has Li Kenong's contribution, *** is very dissatisfied with his performance.
In 1939, Li Kenong faced a rare "mistake". In order to expand their influence, Bai Chongxi and Li Zongren planned to invite two stars to appear in anti-Japanese dramas to win the love and support of the masses.
The success or failure of this drama is related to the progress of the follow-up career.
Li Zongren firmly believed that this trip could be done, and handed over the matter to Bai Chongxi, who was convinced. He invited two male and female stars, the male star is Jin Shan, and the female star is Wang Ying.
By chance, Xie Hegeng and Li Kenong happened to appear on an occasion at the same time. In order to prevent his identity from being revealed, Xie Hegeng tried to leave, but Li Kenong greeted him warmly and shouted "Hegeng, come here".
This sentence surprised the three of them, because they were all members of our party, but because of the difference in fronts, they did not know each other's existence. Li Kenong's rash words made them feel the pressure of being **.
However, Li Kenong immediately realized his mistake and conveyed the message of "they are all their own people" through his eyes, which relieved the mood of the three of them.
Although Xie Hegeng and Wang Ying had a thrilling moment, the more Li Kenong thought about it, the more scared he became, and decided to report it to his superiors, so he was furious, and Li Kenong was more strict with himself in his subsequent work to ensure the safety of himself and his colleagues.
But the organization didn't know that this was not the first time Xie Hegeng had been involved in danger. In 1934, Xie Hegeng joined Bai Chongxi's staff with a letter of recommendation from Feng Yuxiang, but in the Kuomintang troops, people who were loved by their superiors often became the object of envy of their colleagues.
Feng Yuxiang fabricated the facts and spread rumors everywhere, accusing Xie Hegeng of having bad intentions towards Li Zongren and only supporting Bai Chongxi alone. These rumors were just rumors in Bai Chongxi's ears, but they deeply stung Li Zongren.
At a congress, Li Zongren publicly accused Xie of being a Communist Party by name.
Li Zongren's situation has deteriorated, but Xie Hegeng is calm and calm, and has changed the focus of the rumor-mongers. He skillfully used the relationship between Liu Guanzhang during the Three Kingdoms, and compared this to Chiang Kai-shek's ** conspiracy, and the three giants of the Gui family should unite so as not to be divided by Chiang Kai-shek.
This dispelled the doubts in Li Zongren's heart, and from then on, he was as convinced of Xie Hegeng as Bai Chongxi. As underground workers, Xie Hegeng often risked his life to complete the tasks of the organization, and they were the heroes of the party who dedicated their youth to the liberation of the nation and the people.
Xie and Geng chose to dedicate themselves silently and became unsung heroes, and the country also cherished and commended their merits. On October 1, 1949, the founding of the People's Republic of China was proclaimed, and the following year, the state declassified Xie Hegeng's identity, allowing his heroic deeds to be made public.
We don't have to experience the thrilling underground work firsthand, but we pay our deepest respects to the heroes of the hidden front.
