"Then how do you reply to 'Blue Bird'?" Qi Wu frowned and asked.
"Tell that boy not to go too far." Dai Chunfeng pondered for a moment, then snorted and said, "It's you who always protect him."
"You've wronged me with what you said." Qi Wu said with a smile, "It's clearly because of the bureau's connivance that this kid dares to do this."
"So it's still my responsibility?" Dai Chunfeng feigned anger and glared.
Qi Wu smiled and said, "It's only because of you as a senior that a young man like Cheng Qianfan dares to be so presumptuous."
Dai Chunfeng laughed loudly when he heard this. He pointed at Qi Wu and said, "You, you."
These words touched Dai Chunfeng's heart. Dai Chunfeng had always been proud of being a Huangpu student, and also proud of supporting the juniors of the township party. Qi Wu's words scratched Dai Chunfeng's two itches.
"Secretary, can I call you back now?" Qi Wu asked.
Dai Chunfeng waved his hand, "Go."
"yes!"
After Qi Wu left, Dai Chunfeng picked up the message again and looked at it carefully. His eyes stayed on the last sentence, "Junior wishes senior good health." He laughed and cursed, "Bold boy" with a smile!
Then he sighed, of all his subordinates, only this guy would wish him good health in the message.
After leaving Dai Chunfeng's office, Qi Wu returned to his own office. He poured himself a cup of tea, slowly sipped the tea, and fell into thought.
Strictly speaking, Cheng Qianfan's plan was suspected of being "disrespectful of his superiors" and "incompetent". After all, Zheng Lijun's qualifications and military rank were higher than those of Cheng Qianfan.
"The bureau chief is very dissatisfied and disappointed with Zheng Lijun." Qi Wu made his own judgment in his mind.
There may be something that can be manipulated and exploited.
Qi Wu fell into deep thought.
That afternoon, Cheng Qianfan translated the reply and repeatedly considered the words in the message. Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
At Shanghai Station, Zheng Lijun also received a secret message from Qi Wu:
Brother Yupu, the bureau chief is very angry.
However, the deepness of love and the deepness of responsibility are the result of the hatred that iron cannot become steel.
However, with my brother's understanding, Brother Yupu's thoughts may have changed for the better.
Brother Yupu needs to make preparations early, do decisive things, and achieve extraordinary feats.
In this way, everyone will be impressed.
Zheng Lijun repeatedly read and pondered Qi Wu's secret message, and his expression kept changing.
Brother Qi Wu, you can wake up the person in your dream with just one word, you are a true friend!
In the end, Zheng Lijun looked passionate and decisive.
He understood Qi Wu's underlying hint.
…
No. 19, Luojiawan, Chongqing.
"Secretary, Zheng Lijun requested that Tang Shaochuan's affairs be handed over to him." Qi Wu reported to Dai Chunfeng.
Previously, there were various signs that the Japanese were wooing Tang Shaochuan, and the two sides were suspected of having in-depth contacts.
Subsequently, the precise information came from an insider previously deployed by Zheng Weilong. This person learned from within the Tang family that the Japanese invited Tang Shaochuan to come out to maintain government affairs in the occupied area. Although Tang Shaochuan did not immediately agree, the two parties had frequent exchanges since then.
What really made Chongqing consider taking action against Tang Shaochuan was the confidential information obtained by Qi Qiaohua:
The Japanese chief Tu Feiyuan secretly went to Shanghai a few days ago and had a secret meeting with Tang Shaochuan.
Although they did not have the inside story of what the two parties were talking about, Shanghai Station later discovered that Tang Shaochuan's son-in-law Cen Dongtang had frequent private contacts with the Japanese side.
Afterwards, Dai Chunfeng secretly ordered Cheng Qianfan to secretly investigate the matter. Later, he discovered that Tang Shaochuan had opened an office in the Huaan Hequn Insurance Building on Jing'an Temple Road in Shanghai, and pro-Japanese elements secretly came in and out of the place.
The Military Command Bureau received a special order from Chang Kaishen, asking Shanghai to impose "sanctions" on Tang Shaochuan.
However, Tang Shaochuan's residence was heavily guarded and he lived in seclusion, making it difficult to attack.
Dai Chunfeng was quite troubled by the contrast. He had originally intended to put Cheng Qianfan in charge of the assassination operation. However, Cheng Qianfan's troops had previously planned to attack the Japanese Hongqiao Airport, and he had no way to take care of it. Later, due to the heightened security in Japan, the suspected plan was leaked. With Cheng Qianfan's efforts, After fighting for it, the operation was suspended.
Then came the "nagging" incident. Dai Chunfeng could only give up temporarily, and the matter reached a deadlock.
At this time, Dai Chunfeng was quite surprised when he heard that Lord Zheng Li was asking for military service and was even willing to issue a military order. Of course, he was more happy.
"Very good. He has the courage to serve in difficult times. Zheng Yupu really did not disappoint me." Dai Chunfeng said happily.
"Call back Zheng Lijun and wait for his good news." Dai Chunfeng said.
"Yes." Qi Wu said.
"Also, call Xiao Mian. He looks down on Zheng Lijun. Let him learn from Shanghai Station the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and courageously shouldering heavy responsibilities." Dai Chunfeng snorted coldly and said.
"Yes." Qi Wu suppressed a smile and nodded.
After receiving the reprimand from the Chongqing headquarters, Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly and shook his head, knowing that this was Dai Bureau's excuse to give him a beating.
After all, his plan was indeed a bit "excessive" within the Military Command Bureau, which values seniority and respect for seniors and officers.
"Brothers, you must have had enough rest these days." Cheng Qianfan raised the message in his hand, "The director has criticized us quite a lot."
"Team leader, the brothers have been gearing up for a big fight." said the little Taoist priest.
Jiang Mulezi also nodded.
"Okay, then let's kill a traitor to add to the fun." Cheng Qianfan raised the corner of his mouth.
He looked at Jiang Luozi and said, "Da Shan, your team will take action this time."
"Yes." Jiang Mulezi said excitedly, "Team leader, tell me, who should I kill?"
Cheng Qianfan pointed at a map with some names written on it, "It's him."
Several people came over to take a look, and they were all a little surprised. They didn't expect that the team leader would choose this person as the target. However, in the Shanghai special situation team, Cheng Qianfan was the absolute authoritative existence. If he said to kill this person, then this person would be killed. People must die.
…
Suzhou, Guanqian Street, Bifengfang Lane.
Feng Xingzhi led several of his men to show off their power and swagger through the city, causing the citizens to avoid him in fear.
Feng Xingzhi was so proud that he laughed.
Since he defected to the Locust Army and established the "Daminhui" to serve the Locust Army, Feng Xingzhi's good days have come.
Those who used to look down on him and call him a gangster now have to bow and salute when they see him. If he likes any girl, he can directly take it away in the name of giving it to the Locust Army. When the Locust Army has finished using it, he He could drink two soups, and most importantly, the Locust Army praised him for his loyalty.
"Sir, your money fell." Suddenly, someone shouted.
Feng Xingzhi subconsciously looked at his feet.
There are indeed two oceans.
This made Feng Xingzhi extremely happy. President Feng from Fish and Meat Township was a wealthy man. However, Feng Xingzhi had insisted on one belief since he was a child:
Never be too dissatisfied with having too much money, and treat every penny reverently.
When he bent down to pick up the money, he suddenly woke up:
This isn't right.
He went out without any silver dollars!
The money is not his.
Feng Xingzhi was naturally not the kind of person who just picked up the money. What made him suddenly wake up was that he was very self-aware——
He, Feng Xingzhi, is now a "notorious" traitor. Not to mention that he didn't lose the money. Even if it was really him, these unscrupulous people would just pretend they didn't see it and wouldn't even remind him. She would even clap her hands secretly.
When Feng Xingzhi realized something was wrong and raised his head in panic, he heard a gunshot.
A bloody hole was opened directly on Feng Xingzhi's forehead.
His eyes widened and he fell backwards to the ground.
The remaining traitor men were frightened. When they realized something was wrong and wanted to draw their guns, a burst of gunfire rang out, and several of them were almost beaten into a hornet's nest.
Jiang Mulezi looked calm. He bent down and picked up the two silver coins on the ground. Without even looking at Feng Xingzhi, who had his brains knocked out, he pressed the brim of his hat, waved his hand, and ran for a while along Bifengfang Lane with his men. , got on the awning boat by a small river, and soon disappeared into the flowing water of the small bridge in the south of the Yangtze River.
That night, Xiao Mian of the Shanghai Special Situation Team called the Chongqing headquarters:
Kill four traitors and add to the fun of the bureau.
Dai Chunfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he called back:
Can four traitors make me happy?
…
After getting rid of Feng Xingzhi, Cheng Qianfan was very cautious and dormant for a while, and the entire Shanghai special situation team was almost silent.
It was during this period that, under the personal leadership of Zheng Lijun, the acting station chief of the Shanghai Station, he completed the task of assassinating Tang Shaochuan, the former Prime Minister of the Beiyang Government who had secretly contacted the Japanese, and successfully restored his recent bad impression in Dai Chunfeng's heart.
The Japanese side was extremely angry about Tang Shaochuan's assassination, but they did not dare to make the matter too public.
In order to deceive others, Chongqing promulgated the "Order of Commendation of State Councilor Tang Shaochuan" and sent a condolence message to Tang Shaochuan's family in Chang Kaishen's personal name. The government also allocated 50,000 yuan for funeral expenses and advertised it widely. It is said that Tang Shaochuan was assassinated by Japanese agents because he refused to turn out to be a traitor. The person who did it was officially the director of Shanghai Special Higher Education Course, Sanbonjiro.
In this way, the society is divided on the cause of Tang Shaochuan's death, making it difficult to tell the truth. The Japanese are also dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, unable to express their sufferings.
Miyazaki Kentaro once congratulated Sanbonjiro on this matter, but Sanbonjiro scolded him bloody.
…
On this day, Cheng Qianfan came to visit Hyotarō Imamura with gifts.
The two were having tea and chatting, and he mentioned the matter.
"Sanbon-kun really should scold you." Imamura Hyōtaro said with a smile, "Tang Shaochuan died in Chongqing, it cannot be our fault."
"Students are stupid." Cheng Qianfan looked ashamed.
"It's not your fault. This matter involves the strategic secrets of the empire." Hyōtaro Imamura took a sip of tea. "Three months ago, the China policy was discussed at the meeting of the five cabinet ministers."
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki's cautious expression, he smiled and said, "Although this matter is confidential, it was already a meeting three months ago. Many people in the empire know that you are my student, and you It doesn’t hurt to talk.”
Cheng Qianfan showed an expression of gratitude and admiration.
"At this meeting of the five ministers, the empire decided to establish a 'Special Committee on China' to serve as an executive agency responsible for major strategies against China and the establishment of China's new central government." Hyoutaro Imamura said.
“This committee is mainly composed of Lieutenant General Doi Madoka of the Army Department, Lieutenant General Tsuda Nieue of the Navy Department, and Lieutenant General Rihachiro Banishi, a retired general recommended by the Army Department. Madoka Doi knows China very well, so he is the main person in charge. "
…
Cheng Qianfan listened respectfully and quietly to Hyōtaro Imamura's lecture.
This was his purpose and gain in approaching Imamura Hyōtaro and successfully becoming his apprentice.
It is true that the secrets mentioned by Hyoutarou Imamura may not be confidential among the middle and high-level people in Japan, but they are very important to him, or to the Yanzhou headquarters and Chongqing headquarters, and can be said to be extremely valuable. Important information.
Cheng Qianfan believes that whether it is Chongqing or our party in Yanzhou, there must be other sources of intelligence within the Japanese army. However, the intelligence he obtained here is still extremely important. At least it can have one more channel to corroborate the intelligence.
"This committee has a code name." Hyōtaro Imamura took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued, "It's called 'Bamboo Agency'."
"Bamboo mechanism? Strange name." Cheng Qianfan said.
Hyōtaro Imamura smiled slightly and did not explain too much about the name.
Cheng Qianfan was lamenting in his heart, Zhu is one of the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, and when the country is weak and bullied, it is culture. Utensils will also suffer this humiliation.
Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum?
Cheng Qianfan felt something move in his heart, but he didn't express it.
…
"After the establishment of the 'Bamboo Agency', His Excellency Madoka Doi set out to identify several figures who were both prestigious and politically influential in China to cooperate with China." Imamura Hyoutarou said slowly, "Tang Shaochuan is one of them."
As he said that, he sneered, "It's a pity that Tang Shaochuan died before the matter was settled, and His Excellency Dofeiyuan's plan fell through."
Cheng Qianfan did not answer. He keenly noticed that the Japanese seemed to have different opinions regarding the failure of the Doi En Agency. At least Imamura Hyoutarou seemed to be a little gloating about the misfortune.
As for the reason, he didn't know it for the time being, but he secretly made a note in his mind that he would need to think more about it and pay attention to it in the future.
His intuition told him that there must be something fishy in this.
"Shimizu-kun has something to see you, so go and see him." Before leaving, Hyoutaro Imamura suddenly said.
"But Secretary Qingshui of the Consulate General?" Cheng Qianfan looked surprised, and then asked thoughtfully, "This subordinate has no contact with Secretary Qingshui before..."
"I don't know why he asked to see you by name. You should meet him." Imamura Hyōtaro said, "If you are in trouble, just come to me and I will make the decision with you."
"The teachers care about me, and the students feel deeply touched by it." Cheng Qianfan said gratefully, with a sincere smile on his face, "With the teacher here, the students feel the warmth like a father."
"Hahaha." Imamura Hyōtaro nodded slightly, extremely satisfied with Miyazaki Kentaro.
…
It's raining again.
Cheng Qianfan lowered the window and waved his hand.
The two security vehicles in front and behind also stopped, and some of his subordinates hurriedly ran over in the rain.
"Brother Fan."
"Go and buy a newspaper." Cheng Qianfan said.
"yes!"
Just as the men were about to run away, an umbrella was handed over to them, but it was Bai Ruolan who said, "The rain is too heavy, hold an umbrella."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." The man took the umbrella gratefully.
After a while, the newspaper was bought.
"Let's drive." Cheng Qianfan said calmly.
Haozi in the driver's seat agreed and slowly started the vehicle.
The two security vehicles at the front and back also moved forward.
"The Japanese locust army entered Hankou, and Wuhan citizens lined the streets to welcome Master Wang!"
Cheng Qianfan glanced at the headline of the newspaper and sneered.
In the photo, the common people who "welcome" the Japanese troops along the street have frightened and uneasy faces. A few people have flattering smiles on their faces. They are obviously pro-Japanese elements and traitors.
ridiculous!
sad!
He was also extremely irritable in his heart.
Just the morning before yesterday, the Sano detachment of the Japanese Sixth Division, with the help of aircraft and artillery fire, launched a fierce attack on Daijiashan on the outskirts of Hankou.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese army forcibly crossed the river and captured Daijiashan.
All entered Hankou City the next day.
The Battle of Wuhan lasted four and a half months.
Hundreds of large and small battles took place. The Japanese army used 12 divisions, and the Chinese participating troops were 133 divisions and 13 regiments. There were 140,000 anti-Japanese soldiers casualties. Wuhan was finally lost.
