Yang Zhenhua has been waiting there anxiously, his eyes looking at the phone on his desk from time to time.
According to Meng Shaoyuan's thinking, once Kusunoki Shitaka arrives in Shanghai, he will definitely use Yang Zhenhua, an "old friend" of the Japanese Military Academy.
And it will be fast.
All he has to do now is wait patiently.
This was his first cooperation with Meng Shaoyuan, and he kept telling himself that he must make this cooperation perfect to the end.
This will be the best time for you to get out of trouble and rise to the top.
The phone rang several times, and every time Yang Zhenhua picked up the call with hope, he always reported work to him.
This made Yang Zhenhua a little anxious.
The phone rang again.
"Say." Yang Zhenhua answered the phone.
"Chief of Staff, there's a phone call for you. He says he's an old friend of yours."
Yang Zhenhua's heart suddenly jumped: "Take it in."
After a while, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone: "Is this Mr. Yang Zhenhua?"
As soon as he heard it, Yang Zhenhua recognized the owner of the voice:
Nanmu Shitaka!
It’s here, it’s finally here!
Meng Shaoyuan's judgment was correct.
Yang Zhenhua controlled his emotions: "Who are you?"
"Mr. Yang, can't you even hear the voice of your old friend? Back then, I spent seven days building a wooden house by myself."
"Ah, you are Nan..." Yang Zhenhua immediately looked surprised: "You are Mr. Nan, where are you? Are you in Shanghai? Me? I'm in the suburbs near Shanghai. Okay, okay , you name a location, I’ll handle things here, I’ll be there in two hours at most.”
In the switchboard room, Meng Shaoyuan has been monitoring the phone calls.
Very good, Kusunoki Shitaka arrived, and indeed found Yang Zhenhua right away.
Everything is proceeding according to normal track.
But now, it's time to change this track to the route that we designed.
Everything is the path Kusunoki Shitaka must take.
"I built a wooden house by myself in seven days."
Kusunoki Minoru said this.
This is something he has always been proud of.
Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will always mention it to people repeatedly.
This also illustrates a problem. After so many years, it seems that Kusunoki Sanitaka has killed many Chinese agents and transformed himself into the "ace agent" of the Japanese spy industry, but in fact he has never changed.
Only people with low self-esteem will repeatedly mention certain "heroic deeds" in their past.
For truly amazing people, they simply don’t talk about it because there are so many amazing things they have done.
Kusunoki Shitaka is still the same person who has low self-esteem and wants to make meritorious deeds and be proud in front of others.
That would be much easier to do.
Shanghai, Public Settlement, Lao Yichang Restaurant.
Yang Zhenhua pushed open the door of the private room.
He immediately recognized his "old friend" who had been waiting there for a long time:
Nanmu Shitaka!
"Yang Jun!"
"Kusunoki-kun!"
The two shook hands warmly.
Shitaka Kusunoki lowered his voice: "You should call me Mr. Nan. After all, our two countries are at war there."
"Ah, yes." Yang Zhenhua smiled knowingly: "Then you should call me Mr. Yang."
The two sat down with a smile. Kusunoki Shitaka asked the waiter to serve the food, closed the door of the private room, poured the wine, and raised the wine cup: "Mr. Yang, we have not seen you for many years, and you are getting old. Let me propose a toast to you. "
"Thank you. You also have gray hair, but you already speak Chinese like a real Northeasterner." Yang Zhenhua smiled and touched the wine cup with him and drank.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Kusunoki Sanitaka pretended to be casual and asked: "Mr. Yang, I heard that you serve as the chief of staff of the 78th Division?"
"Yes, but I have been transferred again. Now I am the chief of staff of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Team."
"Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Team? What kind of organization is that?" Kusunoki Shitaka looked like a military layman.
Yang Zhenhua also showed an attitude of being unsuspecting of his "old friends" and not knowing anything about keeping military secrets: "When China and Japan go to war, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang action teams mainly cooperate with the main frontal operations. Once Shanghai is not secured, then Conduct guerrilla warfare nearby.”
"I see." Kusunoki Shitaka suddenly realized: "The 78th Division is a regular army, and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Action Team is a guerrilla. Doesn't Mr. Yang's transition from the regular army to the guerrillas mean he was demoted?"
"Do you think I have a future in the 78th Division?" When he said this, Yang Zhenhua immediately became angry, and his expression showed no pretense: "Li Wen, the commander of the 78th Division, always dislikes me and gives me little shoes to wear. , have you ever heard that the chief of staff of a division is only a lieutenant colonel? Damn it, if you don’t leave me here, I will have my place!”
These situations are actually under the control of Kusunoki Shitaka.
The reason why he was able to make an appointment with Yang Zhenhua was because he believed that his experiences would easily make him feel dissatisfied and that he would most likely be able to win him over.
"Forget it, don't talk about me anymore." Yang Zhenhua took a sip of wine dullly: "What about you, Mr. Nan, what have you been doing these years?"
"It's nothing more than carrying out some tasks in North China and Northeast China." This is a public concession, and I can't help the other party. Kusunoki Shitaka did not hide his identity at all: "You probably don't know that after graduating from the sergeant school, I joined the intelligence service organize."
"Are you a spy?" Yang Zhenhua was surprised.
"Mr. Yang, my identity does not affect the friendship between you and me." Kusunoki Shitaka smiled: "I dare to come to see you today, because I am not afraid that you will betray me. Back then, we established a A deep friendship developed."
Yang Zhenhua sighed deeply: "Yes, I was your only friend at that time. Mr. Nan, let's get straight to the point, you must have some mission when you come to Shanghai this time, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't ask me out as soon as you come. .”
"You guessed it right, Mr. Yang. Your career is not going well. I can't help you, but at least I can give you some help financially."
Kusunoki Minoru said and put a bag in front of Yang Zhenhua.
"No, no." Yang Zhenhua panicked: "I can't take it, and I can't sell you any information, otherwise, I will become a traitor."
"Mr. Yang." Kusunoki Shitaka pushed the bag forward: "No matter who wins or loses the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War, it will not affect our friendship. You can regard it as my personal gift. Besides, Yes, people die for money and birds die for food. War is originally an opportunity to make a fortune.
After so many years, you are still only a lieutenant colonel, and now you have been demoted from the regular army to the guerrillas. Do you think there is still hope for promotion? Mr. Yang, you are already over forty. If you don’t seize this time and think more about yourself, what will happen to your family in the future? Do you really want them to drink the northwest wind? "
Yang Zhenhua hesitated: "But... I am in charge of the guerrillas now, and I don't have any valuable information to provide you."
"It doesn't matter." At this time, Kusunoki Shitaka was sure of victory: "You have been an officer for so many years, so you must know many of your colleagues, right? The kind of colleagues who have a lot of information."
"Let me think about it, let me think about it."
Yang Zhenhua thought there for a long time: "There really is such a person. His name is Li Wenyi. He is a major general counselor of the Military Commission and has access to a large amount of military intelligence. By the way, do you know Li Liejun?"
"I know, of course I know, he is your veteran figure."
"Yes, he is Li Liejun's grandson."
"Oh, is it so?"
Yang Zhenhua nodded and said: "He is thirty-five years old this year. Relying on his grandfather's reputation, he was promoted to major general at the age of thirty. However, for five years, he has been standing still, sorting out information all day long. This man thinks that he He is very talented in military affairs, and his abilities should be put to use on the battlefield. What he lacks is an opportunity."
Kusunoki Shitaka immediately paid attention: "What skills does he have? What are his hobbies?"
"What ability can he have?" Yang Zhenhua smiled disdainfully: "He is nothing more than a playboy who likes to eat, drink, and play. He spends a lot of money in a month, but how can he maintain the salary of a major general? No. The girl is in a lot of trouble, has a lot of debt, and at the age of thirty-five, she doesn’t even have a wife.”
Very good, this person meets all conditions.
Yang Zhenhua continued: "One time, before the war started, the creditor directly forced him into his office, making him unable to get off the stage. He was reprimanded by his boss. If it weren't for Li Liejun's face, he would have been told to get out. ”
Kusunoki Minoru's interest became more and more intense: "Mr. Yang, can you help me make an appointment with him?"
"Of course." Yang Zhenhua thought for a moment: "However, whether he will cooperate with you or not is not up to me."
"Of course, of course." Kusunoki Shitaka raised the wine cup again: "I still say the same thing, no matter the outcome of the war between China and Japan, it will not affect the friendship between you and me. If Mr. Yang needs it in the future Wherever I can help, just ask, and I will definitely help within the scope of my ability."
"Okay, I will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible."
The two wine cups touched each other.
After leaving Lao Yichang and sending Yang Zhenhua away, Nanmu Shitaka was satisfied.
This time when he came to Shanghai, he was personally approved by his superiors, and he was given a lot of freedom. Even the secret service's account at Zhengjin Bank could be used to transfer funds at will.
This is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy.
For five thousand yen, you can buy Yang Zhenhua's cooperation, and this kind of business can be done.
Especially for people like Yang Zhenhua or the frustrated officer named Li Wenyi, a large amount of money is enough to buy their "loyalty".
Just as he was about to reach out to call a rickshaw, a voice beside him suddenly sounded:
“Do you know which side of the day in China is longer and which side is shorter?”
Kusunoki Shitaka was shocked.
