"General Li Kenong's special agent.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mao Zedong said in an interview with foreign guests: "Li Kenong is a big spy of China and a spy of the * * * production party." 1955 Before the National Day, when the China People's Liberation Army awarded the title, he wore a general's gold title. He is the only general among the 52 generals who have been awarded the rank of general this time who has never led a soldier to fight. 1962, the CIA was overjoyed to learn the news of Li Kenong's death and announced a three-day leave. This move has no precedent in CIA history.
Infiltrate the Kuomintang secret service
In the 1920s, the Kuomintang CC secret service organization expanded in the name of "Shanghai Radio Administration" and recruited radio news editors. This radio management bureau is the secret service of Chen Lifu, director of the Kuomintang Central Committee, and is under the responsibility of Xu Enceng, a relative of Chen Lifu. According to Zhou Enlai's instructions, Li Kenong entered the examination room. After observing Li Kenong for some time, Xu Enceng was glad that he had found a member. Soon, Li Kenong was promoted to be the chief of the special agent unit. Although the official is not big, it is the best seat to get information. Zhou Enlai has long wanted to use this institution originally established by the Kuomintang for us.
Xu Enceng proudly boasted that he had three officers: Qian Zhuangfei, a close and confidential secretary, was in charge of Changjiang News Agency and Zhi Min News Agency, which was the spy headquarters in Nanjing; Li Kenong, chief spy of Shanghai Radio Administration; Hu Di, President of Tianjin Great Wall News Agency. But Xu Enceng never dreamed that his three right-hand men were loyal fighters of the Party; His proud spy network was established by party member, the producer of * * *, to advise him; A copy of the top secret information sent to Chen Lifu and Chiang Kai-shek was presented to the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China at the same time. Li Kenong, Qian Zhuangfei and Hu Di were ordered by Zhou Enlai to organize a special group, headed by Li Kenong, who contacted Chen Geng, the head of the Central Intelligence Department.
193 1 year, * * * Alternate member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, one of the leaders of the "special branch" of the Central Committee, defected, and the leaders of the Central Committee and Shanghai were in danger. Li Kenong reported this situation to the CPC Central Committee at the first time, which enabled all personnel including Zhou Enlai and Chen Geng to evacuate in time. Chen Lifu lamented: "It only takes five minutes to capture Zhou Enlai alive!" Chen Lifu's lament is incorrect. Five minutes is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, since he appointed Xu Enceng to establish CC Secret Service Organization, the day was doomed from the first second.
Take Jiang Jingguo with you and regret it for the rest of your life.
1936 12, Zhou Enlai said to Li Kenong: "Jiang Jingguo will come back from the Soviet union, you go to Shanghai to meet him. This matter is as important as the' Xi' incident. "1one night in mid-March, 937, a secret telegram was sent to Li Kenong, and Jiang Jingguo will return home from Vladivostok on March 25th. The exact date is hard to say. Li Kenong and Pan Hannian waited at the dock for several days, eager to meet each other. 1937 April19 At dawn, the passenger ship from Jiang Jingguo finally arrived, and suddenly two speedboats flew towards the passenger ship on the river. Jiang Jingguo walked out of the cabin and was quickly picked up by Jiang Weiguo's speedboat. Li Kenong stood in amazement. He secretly vowed that he must look for opportunities and continue to complete this historical mission.
Soon, Li Kenong got in touch with Jiang Jingguo through tortuous relations, which made Jiang Jingguo maintain a positive attitude in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. After liberation, Chiang Kai-shek, with the support of the United States, accelerated the preparations for counterattacking the mainland. On July 1958 and 17, the Kuomintang army, navy and air force declared a state of "special martial law", and the situation took a turn for the worse ... Li Kenong's efforts to win over Jiang Jingguo were frustrated again. Li Kenong can't help but sigh.
Sino-Soviet intelligence cooperation leaves one hand.
1949 12, Mao Zedong visited the Soviet union for the first time and discussed intelligence cooperation with Stalin. During the years of Sino-Soviet intelligence cooperation, Mao Zedong asked Li Kenong to keep all Soviet experts, even the most core secrets. It's like taking off your pants and being naked, so that people can see enough. Soviet experts seem to be very concerned about China's intelligence work, especially on the eve of the breakdown of Sino-Soviet relations, and their records are particularly detailed. Li Kenong a look in the eye. He has a popular and incisive saying about "take off your pants": you are naked and your body is exposed. As long as you don't spit it out, you can't see it or know it.
Sino-Soviet relations broke down, and Soviet intelligence experts thought that they had returned home with a full load. In fact, China's intelligence work didn't suffer much, and Li Kenong would have left a hand.
Command the Panmunjom negotiations behind the scenes
During the Korean War, Americans were forced to sit down and negotiate in Panmunjom, but they didn't want to. That's a lie. The negotiation started from1951July 10 and lasted for two years. When considering the candidates for the China negotiating team, Mao Zedong first thought of Li Kenong.
The negotiation team is divided into one, two and three lines. Li Kenong lived in seclusion in the second line, mastered the overall situation, and exchanged news directly with Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and Kim Il Sung. In the exchange of prisoners of war, the United States made unreasonable demands and adopted delaying tactics. This round of negotiations began at 2: 30 pm and was hosted by the US. Silence, silence, silence again ... This is a highly tense spiritual war, a confrontation of will, perseverance, endurance and restraint. What should Chai, a front-line negotiator, do when he leaves the meeting and asks Li Kenong for instructions? Li Kenong is also meditating. He wrote three words on a piece of paper: sit down. The note was silently passed in the hands of the representatives of China and North Korea. Silence lasted 132 minutes. The Americans couldn't hold on any longer and announced the adjournment. The relatively silent 132 minutes probably set a record for the longest silence in the history of negotiations.
It's the turn of the Chinese and DPRK representatives to preside over the talks. The chief representative of the DPRK declared the meeting open. As soon as the representatives of both sides took their seats, they immediately adjourned the meeting. It only took 25 seconds. Americans are at a loss.
Procrastination is a negotiation skill, and quickness is also a negotiation skill. Li Kenong applied these two methods perfectly. It makes Americans cry, and they cannot but deeply admire Li Kenong's courage and alertness.
