Episode 23

They will scatter the moment our regiments attack

Grab a basin of water!

It's fine

Ministry of War Guesthouse, Shanghai

Ministry of War Guesthouse

Report

Come in

General Liang, we've just received an order

to return to Chongqing

We can't leave now

We haven't solved the case of silver ingots ship

But the plane has been arranged

It's leaving this afternoon

Chairman Chiang wants to see Zhou Fohai

We're taking the same flight back to Chongqing

Is Minister Zeng coming with us?

Yes

Go get ready

I have to go out

Yes

Liang Tong realized that

the meeting with Zhou Fohai is

a chance to find out the truth about the silver ingot ship

According to Fang's instructions

the contact must be made again

Liang Tong knows this is the best chance

Mom, money

Why not come in?

Mom, there's someone in the house

Who is it?

Mrs. Tang

Don't kill us

Don't be afraid

I'm here to bring you a message

Company Commander Tang has been executed

Wonton

Mister

-Wonton soup. -Hello, sir

Mom, mom

a high-ranked officer is coming out

Take care, general

What are you doing?

Mom, I'm scared

-Mom, I'm scared. -Get out of the car

Mom, I'm scared

How can you just jump into General Liang's car?

-General Liang! -Get out of the car!

Tang has been wrongly accused, General Liang

Adjutant Tang, I'll talk to them

Yes

General Liang, Tang is innocent

National Government Ministry of War Guesthouse

Run!

Run!

Take care of the children

Protect General Liang

Go over and take a look

Are you sure it was Zhao Hengxuan?

I'm sure it was him

I know him too well

When I saw him walking toward General Liang

I can guarantee that it was him

Did he really want to kill Liang Tong?

Yes

Then you let him

shoot at the gate of the Ministry of War Guesthouse?

We didn't dare to shoot without your instructions

I believe he was betting

that I wouldn't dare to shoot him

Then I ran him over with a rickshaw

But I couldn't stop him from shooting

He must have had his eye on Mrs. Tang and her children

for a long time

He got shot a few days ago

got hit by a rickshaw this time

and yet he escaped, despite all the people chasing him

He's got the devil in him

I don't know what to do

I can't shoot him

but it doesn't seem right to bring him back

So, you let him go

I don't know if that was the right thing to do

Please give me instructions

I'll know what to do next time

You did the right thing

Very right

Did anyone else recognize him?

No

This was our mistake

Don't let it spread any further

I understand

You can go now

Yes, sir

Mr. Zhou

General Liang, I'm waiting for you

I heard about going back to Chongqing

I knew you would come to me

I also received that instruction

and I knew you would want to meet me

That's right

This is a very bad time for me now

I really don't believe that

Mr. Chiang wants to see me now

He's busy with the negotiations with the Communist Party

Mr. Chiang won't have time to see me

This won't end well if I go to Chongqing

Mr. Zhou, as I said

You can atone by helping me

find the truth about the silver ingot ship

I don't dare hope for that much

I just wish I could have one less enemy, which means one more friend

I know

the Ministry of War and General Liang have suffered a lot

But this is not my intention

In fact

the silver ingot ship is not a case at all

I have my reasons for this

Please take a look at this

This is a top-secret letter

Then why are you showing it to me now?

If I don't show you this

Chen Cheng and you

will definitely pursue this case

and put me in a worse position

Then I'd have one more enemy

and one less friend

But you gave it to me

To be honest

it's hard to deal with

I just want to tell you that

I, Zhou Fohai, have nothing to do with this

The Ministry of War

and you also have nothing to do with it

Does Minister Zeng know about it?

Of course, he does

We're all following Mr. Chiang's instructions

The handling of the silver ingot ship is top secret

I need to take this letter

I'll give it to Minister Chen

He needs an explanation

Of course

That's what it's meant to be

General Liang, if someone

accuses me of this again

I will ask him to go to you, General Liang

I hope you will speak up for me then

Thank you

You made a phone call

to Yasuji Okamura from No. 76

Here is the record

After this call

there were some twists and turns in the peace talks

Of course

that's your attitude

I understand it very well

But Mr. Chiang may not understand

Minister Zeng has been looking for this

I didn't give it to him

Now I'm giving it to you

Hello?

Minister

General Liang went to Zhou Fohai Mansion

I see

Thank you for taking care of Tang

Thanks to General Liang

It's all right, it's our duty

It's all thanks to General Liang

That's right

General Liang

There you go

General Liang, thank you so much

You're leaving now

We're going back home soon

We can't stay in Shanghai anymore

Their father is no longer here

In Shanghai, I can't even

manage to feed my kids by myself

Did you give them the money?

Don't worry, General. They got the money

General Liang

We're counting on you to do us justice

Their father is slandered like that

I don't know how to explain to the kids

Little ones

remember

your father is a very brave soldier

Got it?

Go home, live a good life

and take good care of your kids

I will

Thank you, General Liang

Thank you, General Liang

Thank you, General Liang

Have a safe trip

We'll be off now

Let's go

Ministry of War Guesthouse

How could this happen?

They used to be such a happy family

It's all my fault

General, it's not like that

It's not all your fault

It's just that

We'll go back to Chongqing immediately

That's where it all started

Yes, sir

Pass on my order

Narrow the circle

Don't let anyone get away

Another round of artillery

Yes, sir

It feels like we're going to be parted forever

For me, it's always like this

Wu Mengxiang has no choice

He has to fulfill the Party's instructions

even if it means risking his life

Soldiers

Do you see that?

The Communist Army is now routed

It's time to collect the reward

Capture the leader of the Communist Army

Regardless of rank, each one is worth ten

The more you capture, the more you get

Time to make your mark, guys

Follow me!

Commander

Soldiers, follow me!

Commander!

Commander, it's dangerous! Go!

Commander!

I, Wu Mengxiang, will complete the mission given by the Party

If death is the only option at this moment, I will embrace it

Cover the commander and retreat

Retreat!

Retreat!

Commander!

General Wu was shot in the back and abdomen

Chongqing

A bullet is seated deep in his back

close to his heart

His condition is stable now

He's going to live

But we still have to find a way to get the bullet out

We are now contacting doctors in the United States

and see what they can do

If they can't get it out

there will always be a bullet

lodged beside his heart, right?

That's also possible

Of course

we will not let anything bad happen to him

However, there will still be a sequela

Hopefully, the American experts

will have a solution to this bullet

The chance is slim so far

Good to see you, General Bai

General Liu, how are you?

Just tell me what's going on

Your heart is weak

It got injured

Let me give you some medicine

to help you recover from the wound

Everything will be fine

Didn't the bullet miss the heart?

The impact of the bullet is strong

if we don't take it out

it will keep pressing on the heart

The problem is not really solved

The doctor said that the operation was very risky

Let's see if the American experts

have a better solution

I will survive. It's okay

Don't talk. Get some rest

It is not a good time for this

I heard there's another troop surge

The Northeastern Army has already intervened

Don't worry

We'll stop it

Even if we have to send more troops,

they'll be sent from the 10th Theater

What they want is something else

What they want is Shandong

You can imagine its strategic location

We can't lose it

That's right

I'm worried that Mr. Chiang might put his own men in control

and make the 86th his private army

It's my fault

I'll get well as soon as possible

and go back

It's okay. Take your time

Sir

You may catch up with your old classmates

but he needs more rest now

Yes, sir

How are you? Where are you hurt?

Where are you hurt?

Are you serious?

Stop it

That's enough

Tong, I'm going to write a notice

A notice?

You must give it to the Communist Party representative

Give it to Fang

What do you want to write?

On behalf of myself

I'd like to inform

the Communist guerrilla forces in Shandong

that your unprovoked attack on the National Army

led to a major conflict

and I was seriously wounded myself

The 86th Army of the National Revolutionary Army

won't let you off

We'll return the favor

Mengxiang, the most important thing now is to get well

Don't be angry

Yes, listen to your wife

Take good care of yourself

Why are you angry?

How can I not be angry?

I am not a Japanese

Besides, the Japanese have surrendered

The Communists carried it too far

Now the Northeast Army

has an excuse to send troops, right?

He takes things too seriously

The peace talks have just ended

War is going on always

and everywhere

It will end up making a complete mess

This issue will end without a conclusion

End without a conclusion?

How can I accept that?

Take it easy

Within 24 hours

you have to make sure that Fang gets the notice

I will

It looks to me like you're dying

How about I do you a favor and take care of the inheritance?

Stop it. Get out

I guess you can't be

as manly as you were back then

Leave him alone

I'm really

really miserable this time

Mr. Liang, Mr. Fang is waiting for you

General Liang is here

Give me the letter

General Liang, please come in

You're a rare guest, General Liang

Nice to meet you

General Wu Mengxiang asked me

to deliver this letter to you

Alright, take a seat

To Mr. Fang: On behalf of myself I'd like to inform the Communist guerrilla forces in Shandong that your unprovoked attack on the Nationalist Army led to a major conflict. I have seriously wounded myself. The 86th Army of the National Revolutionary Army won't let you off. We'll return the favor

Thanks

General Wu is wounded

Several shots

He is angry

I'm afraid our comrades in the Shandong Liberated Area are in trouble

We can't afford to lose Linyi

Shandong Liberated Area is so important to us

The Double Tenth Agreement signed in Chongqing

bought us some time

We must take advantage of it

to get rid of the unfavorable situation

You're right

I heard you're reorganizing

and the Ministry of National Defense will be established

Preparations are already underway

The General Staff Headquarters will be merged into the Ministry of War

Chen Cheng as the Chief of Staff

I'll be transferred to his office

in charge of the reorganization

Under the Ministry of War, the Strategic Planning Department

will be established, responsible for future operations

We want you to be

the chief of the Strategic Planning Department

It will be the next key step of Operation Yan

Understood

As Chen Cheng will be the Chief of Staff

I have a good chance to be the chief of the Strategic Planning Department

Your position is becoming more and more important now

The situation will become more complicated

We will do our best to ensure your safety

We have the ability to do so

Melanie may have recovered her memory by now

Zeng Guangxi is also very sure that

she is He Meihui, a liaison agent in Shanghai

But he has no evidence yet

Considering her special position

Zeng won't take action against her for now

Once your safety is threatened

we will take decisive measures

Now Melanie

has started to avoid me

Maybe she is looking for a chance

to reconnect with the organization

See ya

Gentlemen, come inside

Huajiezi Street, Chongqing

Sir, please come in

Gentlemen

Please come in

Ma'am, we have guests

Good to see you

Please follow me upstairs

You've won again

You've won so much

Come on, give him the money

This is the room

You won again?

No worries, your secret's safe with me

Be careful

You've got such a funny place

Only in this kind of place

the frequent visits of doctors

will not attract any attention

Let's go

Thank you

Shouren

How did you explain that you let me go?

When I got back

I told Minister Zeng the truth

He didn't seem to have a problem with it

You are indeed good friends

Someone put the blame on you

I know that

So does the minister, I suppose

Then what?

Someone has to take the blame

But chief

if you really trust us as brothers

you must not

seek revenge on General Liang again

General Liang is also the one who takes the blame

Chief, if you do that again

we two will get killed

How is General Liang doing?

After he came back

General Liang was usually in meetings

or doing reorganization works

at the Ministry of War

Nothing special

No one has

sent you to assist General Liang since that?

No

And after I came back

that case was never mentioned again

I also find it very strange

Minister Zeng hasn't sent anyone to follow General Liang since then

Not yet

And no one is following Melanie

Even Guo has been withdrawn

What happened to Minister Zeng?

He's keeping a low profile this time

Have you two followed Liang Tong?

From now on, you keep following him

Don't let Zhao Hengxuan get close to him

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir

Once you see Zhao Hengxuan, notify me immediately

Yes, sir

And from now on

you two report directly to me alone

-Yes. -Yes

Have a drink

Consider it a welcome ceremony

Yu Shouren has told me about you taking the blame

We all feel unfair to you

You don't look right

Where is my cousin?

At school

She usually eats at school and then comes back

With Yang Suya?

It's according to your arrangement

But no one cares about that anymore

Does Yang still participate in the book club?

More than that

Now she's an active member

As you instructed

there is a Communist study group

They read Communist books every week

follow the spirit of Yan'an

Yang Suya is very active

They could just recruit her as a party member

Alright, nice acting

That's not acting at all

It's just like the real thing

There is a former communist

who was in Yan'an

He can make his Yan'an speech without rehearsal

Lao Zhang, what about

you organize a large scale

catch-all operation

Arrest them all!

Arrest Yang Suya?

That's right

Of course we should catch her

We need to consult with Minister Zeng, right?

Don't worry about that

I'll go see Minister Zeng

It's too crowded here

Let's get the car inside

Stay here

When General Liang comes out

there are so many people here

What if we get stuck there?

What if we lose him?

General Liang has a lot of power

Of course he does. No one wants to be reorganized

20 days later

General Wu

Uncle Fang

I came here to see you

and apologize

Got you some jujube from Yan'an

I heard it could nourish your blood

It would speed up wound healing

Take these to the ward

I'd like to talk to Fang alone

Take your time

Take it easy

Okay

Don't worry

You came to see me in such a hurry

There must be something important

Let's talk about it

Okay, then I won't beat around the bush

Last time, it was difficult to break through

You were wounded

The 86th Army stopped attacking

so we were able to break through

I had no choice

but to come up with that desperate plan

You did it on purpose

I thought it was strange

How can a commander

charge forward?

Too pushy, it's not like you

You know me so well

People in Linyi will appreciate that

At this very moment

it's better to hide your brightness

and bide your time

Get the troops out of Linyi

Hide in the mountains

and get through this critical period

Linyi is the capital of the Shandong Liberated Area

It's not a good idea to give Linyi up

Then… then find a way

to stop the 86th Army from attacking

That would be good

But we can't do that, can we?

I hope I can make it in time

How long will it take?

Ten days

I'll take care of it myself

Is it okay for you to do that?

So many soldiers' lives are at stake

I'm fine

Take care of yourself first

I'll leave now

Don't worry about your safety

From now on

Yu Shouren will protect you around the clock

Zhao Hengxuan is too bold now

I want to find him myself

The case of silver ingots ship has not been solved yet

The silver ingots are important

But what's more important now is the Communists

Sooner or later the two parties will turn against each other

Can't you see that?

I would keep looking at the bright side

before it goes dark

In my line of work I can only prepare for the worst

Chairman Chiang is annoyed

by the Communist Party's secret infiltration

At this moment

if you have anything to say, just say it

I would say Melanie

has recovered her memory

But I have no proof that

she is He Meihui

Do you need proof to arrest someone?

You don't even need proof to kill someone

You have a lot of complaints about me

I've got proof about Company Commander Tang

Yes, I admit I killed him too hastily

But I was asked to close the case quickly

I didn't have time to go through the process

But Melanie is different

She's Hurley's assistant

Things could go sideways

I have to go through the process

You really think

Melanie has recovered her memory?

What do you want to do next?

I want to ask Liu Feiyun to hypnotize her

to communicate with her

If she has recovered her memory

she'll definitely refuse treatment

Supreme Defence Council of the National Government

Stop!

What's your name?

Young man, you've got some balls

How dare you ask me my name?

Sorry, if you don't have an appointment, get in line over there

Get in line!

What do you want?

Step aside

Military Commission of the National Government

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

The Belarusian woman who treated her

believed she remembered everything

Magic potion imported by the Sino-American Cooperative Organization

A few drops in Melanie's coffee

and she'll cooperate with us

Catching the Communists is your job

not mine

What's more important to me now

is the final destination of the ship of silver ingots

The Ministry of War can't take the blame for this

Little Tong

Little Tong

I'm here to see you

You won't let me in?

Now I have to queue up and register to see you

What the hell is this?

Mr. Zhou came to join the fun as well

Little Tong

I'm leaving

I'm here to see you

I'm not allowed in yet

What's this all about?

Little Tong

Little Tong, your uncle is here to see you

You still won't let me in?

What are you doing?

Little Tong, I'm here to see you

Let General Zhou in

You won't let me in?

What are you doing?

Zeng Guangxi is almost provocative

The case of silver ingots ship has secretly set

Liang Tong and Zeng Guangxi against each other

The battle between

Liang Tong and Zeng Guangxi has begun quietly

Obviously, Zeng Guangxi thought that Liang Tong and Melanie

were somehow related

and he regarded them as a target of the Communist Party

Liang Tong wants to have in-depth contact with Melanie

before Zeng makes his move

Little Tong, where are you?

I'm here, uncle

Little Tong

Your voice is so loud

I heard it upstairs

Here you are

You're here for the reorganization?

Like everyone else

I'm here to join in the fun

My troop has just

been assembled, and it's about to be reorganized

What have they been doing?

I heard it's going to be reduced to one regiment

Then they might as well pull out
