"You don't need to go to the battlefield. Just contact Eguchi-kun and help survey the route of action." Imamura Hyoutarou said.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan immediately said impassionedly, "Miyazaki is willing to be loyal to the empire."
Hyōtaro Imamura glanced at this guy and shook his head in disgust.
Then, he saw Cheng Qianfan take out a check from his pocket and place it on the desk without leaving a trace.
"Sir, if there is nothing else to do, Miyazaki will resign."
"Go." Hyōtaro Imamura waved his hand.
After Cheng Qianfan left, Hyōtaro Imamura picked up the check, looked at the amount, and smiled.
This was his share of the shares in Cheng Qianfan's black market business.
Miyazaki is good at everything, but he is too greedy for money and lacks some courage.
Well, no one is perfect, overall, this guy is pretty good.
…
The once 'bustling' Hongkou District is no longer brightly lit.
The Consulate General of Japan in Shanghai has issued a safety notice to overseas Chinese in Shanghai, reminding Japanese overseas residents to pay attention to safety and try not to go out at night.
Cheng Qianfan did not call a rickshaw. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, a top hat, and a cigarette in his mouth as he strolled through the dim streets.
There was the sound of running fast from behind, and the sound of rubber tires bumping against the ground.
He silently estimated the distance between the person following him and himself.
Walk past a streetlight.
We walked forward for about twenty meters.
Cheng Qianfan took a sip and tried to spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, but it almost landed on his suit, so he hurriedly slapped it away with his hand.
It was at this moment that the corner of my eye cleared:
The rickshaw, which was about twenty steps behind him, came under the streetlight, allowing him to observe clearly.
The rickshaw driver's arm pulling the rickshaw was exerting force, indicating that there was someone inside the rickshaw.
The rickshaw driver had a towel draped over his shoulders.
He had a straw hat on his head and couldn't see his face clearly.
Everything seems normal.
Cheng Qianfan continued to walk forward.
Ahead is a fork in the alley.
He reached into his arms, pretending to reach for the cigarette box, but in fact he reached for the Browning revolver in his arms:
There was something wrong with the towel draped over the rickshaw driver's shoulders.
The towels are not new towels, they are old.
But, very clean.
The rickshaw driver's towel had turned yellow and black after a long day's driving, exuding a salty smell.
Cheng Qianfan walked to the fork in the road, turned right and entered Shimian Lane.
He also quickened his pace and ran a few steps.
Then he quietly retreated and hid in the dark.
Hearing this, the rickshaw driver behind him immediately speeded up to follow.
Just as the rickshaw driver pulled the car around and turned around, Cheng Qianfan, who was hiding in the dark, jumped up and knocked the rickshaw driver unconscious with a punch.
He pulled out the Browning Wheel and pointed at the man on the seat, "Don't move, I'll beat you to death if you do."
The passengers on the rickshaw were startled, then raised their heads, looked at Cheng Qianfan, and smiled bitterly, "Inspector Cheng, it's me, Lao Qi from the tea shop."
"Boss Qi! How could it be you?" Cheng Qianfan was surprised and had to put away his gun.
It turned out to be Qi Wu.
Then he quickly went to check on the rickshaw driver who was knocked unconscious by his punch. This person turned out to be Sheng Shuyu.
He was a little surprised.
If someone else is knocked unconscious by his punch, there is no need to be surprised.
However, Sheng Shuyu was so skilled that he couldn't resist his own punch?
Could this guy be Silver Gun Wax Head?
Looking at the unconscious Sheng Shuyu, Cheng Qianfan looked ashamed, shouted softly, and felt happy inside.
This guy owed him two thousand French coins and ran away last time, which made him shamelessly ask Virgo for money. Now he must have received retribution.
…
"If I hadn't been unlucky, how could I have fainted?" Sheng Shuyu said with an angry look.
It was also his bad luck. Just now, he immediately realized that he was being attacked by someone and subconsciously avoided it. Although he still received a punch on the head, most of the force was relieved.
Unfortunately, when he was dodging, he dodged and hit his head on the wall, knocking him unconscious.
This alley is a thin line of sky and narrow in width.
"Yes, yes, it's because I attacked first without saying anything in advance." Cheng Qianfan apologized with his hand.
Sheng Shuyu had a dark face and stopped talking. He had no shame in accusing Cheng Qianfan of sneak attack.
'Qiwu' coughed.
"Director Qi." Cheng Qianfan immediately stood at attention and saluted, "Why did you come to Shanghai suddenly? You didn't send a telegram in advance so that my subordinates could respond."
"It's not like I haven't been to Shanghai before, so I still need you to support me." Qi Wu said with a smile.
"The situation is tense now, and safety comes first." Cheng Qianfan looked worried, "Shanghai Beach has been really chaotic recently. You are a talented person and you are bold. You are not afraid, but I am."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay attention next time." Qi Wu saw that Cheng Qianfan was going to continue talking, and waved his hand helplessly, pointing at Cheng Qianfan, "What a big deal, it belongs to my mother-in-law."
Sheng Shuyu on the side grinned and sneered silently.
"Director Qi, you came to Shanghai suddenly, but you have a task for me." Cheng Qianfan asked.
"There is indeed a mission." Qi Wu glanced at Sheng Shuyu and said, "Shuyu."
Sheng Shuyu went to the door and listened carefully to make sure no one was nearby, then walked back and nodded.
"This is a mission personally assigned by Virgo. It is a matter of confidentiality. I have been specially ordered to come to Shanghai to meet you in person." Qi Wu said with a serious expression.
"Director, please give me your instructions." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
Qi Wu began to speak in a low voice.
four days ago.
At the leader's residence in Nanjing, the Supreme Military Council held a secret meeting.
Chairman Chang Kaishen, Wang Quanhai, He Yingqin and others were all present.
In view of the current situation of the national war of resistance.
The Supreme Military Council proposed a 'win-win' strategy.
It was at this meeting that the strategic goal of concentrating superior forces to take the lead in encircling and annihilating the Japanese Marine Corps and Navy ships in Shanghai in early August and opening up the Songhu Front was determined.
Chiwu avoided this top-secret strategic plan and introduced another top-secret plan of the Supreme Military Council.
The plan was for the national navy to immediately blockade the Yangtze River on the narrowest river, Jiangyin Fortress.
The goal of this plan is to prevent the Japanese navy from attacking Nanjing along the river, and to trap Japanese ships in the Yangtze River, leaving Japanese ships in Shanghai isolated and helpless.
At the same time, the Chinese navy can wait for opportunities to encircle and annihilate Japanese warships and merchant ships on the river.
After the meeting, Chairman Chang Kaishen immediately signed a military order, calling for strengthening the firepower on the Jiangyin Fortress, destroying navigation marks on the Jiangyin River, arranging sunken ships to block the river, and densely laying mines to block the entire Jiangyin waterway.
"This plan is very good. As expected of the principal, it directly suppressed the Japanese navy." Cheng Qianfan nodded in praise.
"The plan is good." Qi Wu said with a gloomy expression, "It's a pity that the secret was leaked and the Japanese escaped early."
