Lixingshe Shanghai Station, in the stationmaster’s office.
Lu Feng, who had just reached a deal with Ikeda Ryuichi, was reporting to Wang Tianfeng how he met Fan Shibai this time.
No matter the details.
Even when he and Ryuichi Ikeda made a deal and sold the Fomalhaut blueprints to each other, Lu Feng truthfully reported to Wang Tianfeng.
Wang Tianfeng casually turned over the Kwantung Army organization sequence that Lu Feng handed over, and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he asked Lu Feng:
"That's what Fan Shibai said? Didn't he give anything else of value?"
"No."
After hearing Lu Feng's answer, Wang Tianfeng looked at him with some suspicion.
"What's wrong, Brother Wang?"
Lu Feng looked at Wang Tianfeng with confusion on his face.
Seeing Lu Feng's expression, Wang Tianfeng hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Brother Ma, do you know why Fan Shibai defected from the Japanese according to the information I learned?"
"Why?"
"That guy is said to have embezzled a large amount of money from the Japanese and then ran away."
Wang Tianfeng meant something.
"Brother Wang is saying that Fan Shibai escaped privately with the money?"
"Yes, according to my information, he has a full two hundred thousand dollars in his bank account. Otherwise, why would the Japanese be so anxious and want to take him back?"
"I've never heard Fan Shibai mention this."
Lu Feng shook his head and said that he did not know about this.
In his heart, Lu Feng couldn't help but sigh.
He originally thought that the valuable things Wang Tianfeng mentioned were information about Japanese spies, but he did not expect that what Wang Tianfeng was really concerned about was Fan Shibai's wealth.
It is true that two hundred thousand dollars can definitely be regarded as an astonishing amount of wealth in today's era.
But in Lu Feng's view, how could the value of the Kwantung Army troop sequence given by Fan Shibai be so low?
However, such a precious piece of information did not even attract much attention from Wang Tianfeng.
"Okay, let's do this this time, I will verify the circumstances you reported.
But Brother Ma, you have to remember. Next time you interview this Fan Shibai, you must ask clearly about the money. Do you understand? "
"Okay, I know."
After nodding in agreement with Wang Tianfeng's request, Lu Feng left Wang Tianfeng's office.
After Lu Feng left, Wang Tianfeng casually put the unit sequence information of the Kwantung Army aside, preparing to receive it directly into the confidential room later.
Wang Tianfeng had no interest in verifying the authenticity of this information. The most he could do was send it to Peking as soon as possible.
As for verification, just leave it to the people at Beiping Station.
As the saying goes, “To be loyal to the party and the state, you must first be loyal to your superiors.”
Who is the leader of their Lixing Society?
Of course, it must be His Excellency the Principal.
Therefore, the direction of action of the Lixing Society must be determined according to the will of the principal. As far as the current situation is concerned, it can be said that everyone knows your attitude towards Manchuria.
Why should I expend energy to pay attention to something that the principal doesn't care about?
Human energy is limited, and limited energy should be invested in more important things. Think about what the superior thinks and worry about what the superior is anxious about.
Only in this way can you rise to the top, be promoted and make a fortune.
If we go in the wrong direction, we are just wasting our efforts.
Therefore, Wang Tianfeng didn't care at all about Manchuria and the safety of Fan Shibai's family. He only cared about one thing.
"Two hundred thousand dollars, this is a really big sum of money!"
"How's the news getting out?"
At the entrance of Hongqiao, in the Black Dragon Club's office, Fujita Yoshimasa, who had just returned from the Navy Club, asked.
It can be said that things have been going wrong for Shanghai's secret service agencies recently. The disappearance of the weapons and equipment of the previous squadron has just begun to emerge, and then the disappearance of the "Yayyo" happened.
As a result, the Japanese troops and secret services stationed in Shanghai have been very busy lately, but they have never been able to find out the reason.
The destroyer, along with the 150 crew members on board, suddenly disappeared into the storm, leaving no trace.
So much so that after Manchuria sent a mission to keep an eye on Fan Shibai, the secret service in Shanghai didn't even have time to deal with the matter.
By the time they had their hands free, it was already too late. Fan Shibai was taken in and sheltered by the people of Belarus. Facing the heavily armed business groups from all over the world, the Japanese did not dare to come to them to ask for people.
Then, Yoko Minamada made such a suggestion to release the rumors.
Define Fan Shibai's defection as a private escape with money.
Fujita Yoshimasa agreed after thinking about it. In order to make the news more true, he also specifically contacted the Manchurian secret service, so that the news that Fan Shibai "had two hundred thousand dollars in his possession" would spread from Manchuria first. .
Fujita Yoshimasa had been in Manchuria for many years, and he naturally knew the situation there well. He could also guess what methods Fan Shibai would use to deal with the Japanese government.
Faced with Fan Shibai's revelations and accusations, Fujita Yoshimasa knew that they had no way to defend themselves.
Since the problem cannot be solved, let's start with Fan Shibai and smear his reputation. Fan Shibai himself is not a good person anyway, and he has a lot of black material on him.
After all, Fan Shibai didn't say he came to Shanghai with a lot of evidence from Manchuria. Being alone, he could only tell one side of the story at most.
As long as this person is labeled as a problem element, the Japanese government will have room to quibble with what he says.
"According to my information, people from Lixingshe and the Party Affairs Office have already known the news. With their nature, they will definitely covet the money. They will only think about extorting the money first, and then, after Before this, they will not give Fan Shibai any practical help."
Minami Yoko looked proud.
"Well, that's good."
Fujita Yoshimasa nodded. Since taking over the mess of the Shanghai secret service, all kinds of bad things have happened one after another, which has made him quite exhausted mentally and physically.
If Fan Shibai caused any big trouble here again, Fujita Yoshimasa felt that he might be recalled by the headquarters for accountability like Hideo Shimura.
"Continue to spread the news, and then let more people publicize Fan Shibai's affairs to muddy the water."
"Hi."
In the next few days, with the deliberate spread of the Japanese, all kinds of dirty information about Fan Shibai and the fact that he was "possessing a huge sum of money" began to spread through different channels in Shanghai.
In tit for tat, Fan Shibai also continued to use newspapers to continue to expose Japan's cruel behavior in Manchuria, causing the Japanese to become more and more infamous in Shanghai.
In the face of overwhelming accusations, Japan has always insisted on Fan Shibai's criminal record, claiming that all this is slander. However, many Japanese actions in Shanghai have been truly affected.
Many businessmen and trade organizations with Jewish backgrounds intentionally raised the threshold for trade with Japan, or simply cut off business contacts with the Japanese.
Many people in the Japanese Chamber of Commerce were so angry that they couldn't wait to rush to the headquarters of the International Business Group, drag Fan Shibai out and cut him into pieces.
However, in this context, as for Fan Shibai's nationality, the government's attitude seems very ambiguous.
Except for some non-governmental anti-Japanese groups who expressed solidarity and some action support for Fan Shibai, relevant departments of the national government ignored the matter, as if they had never heard of it.
As Lu Feng, who had direct contact with Fan Shibai, he knew that all Wang Tianfeng asked him to talk to Fan Shibai in the past few days was about the money.
The attitude is very clear:
If you don't take out the money first, there's no need to discuss anything.
Although he didn't have any expectations for the government, Wang Tianfeng's attitude still made Lu Feng a little disappointed.
Sure enough, counting on them was a dream.
You still have to do it yourself.

The recent problem is that I find that I have deviated from the original outline. I am a newbie who still cannot control the plot direction of a long article. I am sorry that my level is not good enough.
