That night.
The capital is Nanjing, Gulou District, Zhou Mansion, No. 8 Xiliuwan.
Just when Lu Feng was taking Xu Baichuan and Mao Taiyan to watch an open-air movie, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun, who they had talked about at the dinner, were in the Zhou mansion with the owner of the mansion, an executive member of the Kuomintang. Zhou Fahai chatted happily.
Among the people present, there is also a special companion.
Miyashita Hanakazu, secretary to the Consul General of Japan in Nanjing, Hori Koichi.
He came to participate in this meeting on behalf of Mr. Hori.
In a private gathering of senior Kuomintang officials, a Japanese was present. This situation is actually not uncommon among the Kuomintang today.
As Wang Zhaoming, who single-handedly approved the "Ho-Mei Agreement" and surrendered a large amount of sovereignty in North China to Japan, he still has a large number of supporters within the national government.
These pro-Japanese factions and capitulation factions have always been entangled with various Japanese political and economic figures in China, and each is a guest in the other party's house.
Such is the case with Zhou Fahai.
This Zhou Mansion has another name in some small circles of the Kuomintang: low-key club.
The members of this club vigorously want to promote the so-called "China-Japan peace" and advocate surrender and peace, and they also vigorously carry out publicity in these aspects.
As a new member of the "low-key club", Ding Mocun smiled and socialized with Zhou Fahai, the "minister", while looking at Miyashita Yukazu next to him with a little wariness.
Today's meeting was initiated by him, or rather by Hori Koichi behind him.
Ding Mocun could use his butt to think that this must be something the Japanese have to do on their own.
But Ding Mocun couldn't refuse the other party.
When Director Xu was still alive, Ding Mo Village had already considered surrendering to the Japanese because of the fear of being liquidated by the other party.
And some practical actions have been taken.
For things like surrender, you have to give a certificate of surrender, right?
Then, this certificate of surrender became the handle for the Japanese to control Dingmo Village.
Ding Mocun didn't like the feeling of being manipulated very much, but now that the matter was over, he could only accept his current situation.
At the same time, Ding Mocun also comforted himself in his heart: It is not bad to be manipulated by the Japanese. At least with the support of Vice Chairman Wang and Committee Member Zhou, he can have a chance to sit on the position of director, right?
"Mr. Ding, let me first wish you success in assuming the position of director of the Party Affairs Office."
Miyashita Yuhe picked up the wine glass and said to Ding Mocun.
"Mr. Miyashita, it's too early to say this as the dust has yet to be settled."
Ding Mocun was not dazzled by the great situation at hand. He knew very well that in the heart of the principal, he was still a little bit uninterested.
"Mr. Ding is too humble. With your ability, qualifications, and our great help, it can be said that the position of director is already in Mr. Ding's pocket."
Miyashita Yukazu's words were full of confidence.
Over the years, the Japanese government has used various means, either to bribe or to train from scratch, to vigorously support various pro-Japanese officials.
This time Director Xu was assassinated by the Red Party, leaving the position of Director of the Party Affairs Division vacant. The Japanese immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.
In particular, they also have a basically suitable candidate in Ding Mo Village.
As a result, under the coordination of the Japanese side, a reconciliation was reached between Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun, and the two parties joined forces to expel other competitors.
Coupled with the help of Vice Chairman Wang, Miyashita Yuhe didn't think anyone else could compete with Ding Mocun for the position of director of the Party Affairs Office.
As long as Ding Mocun secures his position in the Party Affairs Office, the Japanese will be able to penetrate and master the Kuomintang's intelligence system more deeply.
Whether it is for the current situation or future variables, this is an extremely beneficial thing for Japan.
Seeing Miyashita Yuhe's expression, Ding Mocun's confidence also increased a lot.
Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, as long as there are no changes on Commissioner Zhu's side, the Party Affairs Office will be in his pocket sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Ding Mocun's heartbeat accelerated a lot.
But soon, he calmed down and said to Miyashita Yukazu:
"Mr. Miyashita invited us over tonight. It shouldn't just be a simple celebration in advance, right?"
"It's natural."
Miyashita Yuhe answered very directly.
This kind of behavior made Ding Mocun's face turn ugly for a moment.
"Mr. Miyashita, please tell me if you have anything. I believe Mocun will try his best to help. After all, we are all partners now. We should benefit from each other and help each other."
As the owner of this place, Zhou Fahai stepped in to smooth things over a little.
Miyashita Yuhe smiled and said:
"Actually, I called Mr. Ding and Mr. Li here today because there is news from Manchukuo that a traitor is likely to escape to the south, either to Nanjing or Shanghai.
Therefore, Consul General Horikong hopes that Mr. Ding and Mr. Li can help us. If this traitor is discovered, please inform us as soon as possible.
Of course, if you two can capture him directly, we will be even more grateful for your help. "
Gong Xiayu and his face looked very sincere, but the meaning behind his words was more like giving orders to Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun.
Miyashita Yukazu did it on purpose.
Unlike Zhou Fahai, whether it was Ding Mocun or Li Shiqun, the control was in the hands of the Japanese side. In the eyes of the Japanese side, such people were just lackeys who had been collared.
What the Japanese government wants is a group of puppets who obey their orders, so it cannot be too kind to them.
Otherwise, these guys might forget who is their master.
"Traitor? Who is he?"
Zhou Fahai asked this question for Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun.
They were a little curious about what kind of person could successfully defect from Manchukuo and go south, and have not been caught by the Japanese yet.
Judging from Miyashita Yukazu's attitude, this person seems to be very important.
"Fan Shibai."
Miyashita Yukazu said a name.
Zhou Fahai and the others thought about it for a while, and then they knew who Gong Xia Yuhe was talking about.
The name Fan Shibai doesn't sound very special, but if the Japanese pay such attention to him, then he can only be that international spy with a little bit of legend.
Fan Shibai, also called Vance Bai, was originally an Italian, but miraculously he became a Chinese national in this era.
To be honest, this Fan Shibai is definitely not a good person. He was a spy who wandered between various political powers before.
Later, he served under Marshal Zhang in the Northeast, and things like human trafficking, robbery and extortion, and opium den operation were all over the place.
It is not impossible to say that he has done all the bad things in Northeast China.
After the "September 18th Incident", Fan Shibai was chosen by the director of Dofeiyuan because of his "extraordinary talent" and became a member of the special high school class.
But why did Fan Shibai suddenly defect?
Zhou Fahai was a little confused about this situation. Logically speaking, people like Fan Shibai and the Japanese were simply in cahoots, a match made in heaven.
However, Zhou Fahai did not ask this question. He just looked at Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun.
Ding Mocun was naturally a little curious. Why did Fan Shibai defect from the Japanese?
But he didn't ask so many questions, he just nodded to Miyashita Yuhe and said:
"I will ask my subordinates to pay attention to his news. As soon as there is any situation, I will notify you immediately.
However, in my opinion, Fan Shibai's appearance is too obvious, so the possibility of him coming to Nanjing is probably not very high.
It is more likely that the other party will go to Shanghai and then transfer to other places from there.
In this case"
Ding Mocun turned his attention to Li Shiqun standing aside.
According to his agreement with Li Shiqun, Li Shiqun will help him ascend to the position of director, and Ding Mo Village will completely place Shanghai Station under Li Shiqun's jurisdiction.
Li Shiqun quickly expressed his position:
"Don't worry, Mr. Miyashita, I will let the personnel in Shanghai pay attention to this situation. I will go and talk to my master later and ask him to say hello to the Qinggang."
Li Shiqun's master, Ji Yunqing, is a senior member of the Qing Gang's "tong" generation. If he speaks, even the three tycoons in Shanghai will give him some face.
After hearing the statements of Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun, Miyashita Yuhe's expression was very satisfied.
There is a general consensus among Japanese political circles that Japan cannot completely rule the entire China with its current human and material resources.
Only by "using China to control China" can Japan safely pass the transition period of occupying China.
Of course, the premise is that these "hua" who govern China must be obedient enough.
In a hurry, in a panic.
