"Shaoyuan, preparations for retreat have begun. I may not come to Shanghai for a long time."
In the office, Dai Li once again summoned Meng Shaoyuan in front of him: "I know you have already arranged the post-retreat work there before, which is good. We resisted the Japanese army in Shanghai for three full months. Although the casualties were huge, it was also It shattered the Japanese army’s illusions about a quick victory and won the sympathy of some countries in the world..."
At this point, he seemed to find it a bit ridiculous: "Forget it, let's not talk about international sympathy and support, we still have to rely on ourselves. The task of our military commander is to prevent the gunfire on the battlefield from stopping for a moment. Originally, I should have left Shanghai an hour ago, but I just got some new information, and I especially want to inform you.
In view of the fact that the Japanese special agencies' operations in Shanghai have repeatedly failed before, all parties attach great importance to it. According to the intelligence we currently have, Japan's land and sea have begun to change generals frequently. As for the army, Colonel Nitsugi Matsumoto was transferred from China to establish the "Cloud Mansion" in Shanghai, and cooperated with the head of the army's secret service agency, Yoshio Wanda, to jointly carry out espionage work.
As for the Navy, Colonel Michio Tanishigehara was dispatched to establish the "Shanghai Research Office", with him serving as director and actually responsible for all the Navy's intelligence work in Shanghai. As for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, it is Chiyuki Akagi, who is very likely to serve as the police chief of the Ministry of Industry Bureau. These three people are regarded by the Japanese as the top three generals, and it is clear that they are going to do something big in Shanghai. "
Meng Shaoyuan listened very carefully.
Even though victory was achieved, there were still many conflicts between the Japanese Army, Navy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But the difficulty is that each of the three new people who have taken office are eager to make meritorious deeds, so they will work particularly hard. This also adds great difficulties to the latent agents of the military command.
"By the way, do you know what the Japanese call these three people?" Dai Li suddenly asked.
Meng Shaoyuan shook his head.
"Three Tigers of the Empire." Dai Li sneered: "Okay, our army has your Meng Shaoyuan's 'Seven Tigers of the Army'. Now that the Japanese have the Three Tigers of the Empire, let's see which one is a real tiger and which one is a paper tiger."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled faintly.
There are three tigers and seven tigers. The living ones are tigers, and the dead ones are not even as good as cats.
"From the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu to now, you haven't had a day's rest." Dai Li glanced at his right-hand general: "The original plan was to evacuate you to Chongqing for short-term repairs. I even went to the new Chongqing training class It has been set up, and I want you to give some classes to the new students, but now it seems that you have to stay in Shanghai for a while.
In view of the changes in the battlefield situation, the military reunified the Shanghai Special Zone and changed it to the Shanghai Latent Area, with Zhou Weilong still serving as the district chief and Cheng Yiming serving as the secretary. Your special operations office is an independent unit that operates independently and does not have to report to anyone. However, I need you to quickly stabilize the situation in Shanghai so that our agents can gain a firm foothold in the early stages.
Shao Yuan, this task is very difficult, people will die, and many people will die. When the Japanese army first occupied Shanghai, they were arrogant and domineering and would definitely launch a large-scale retaliation against us. Especially in the initial period of time, when there were violent storms, there was a lot of knowledge involved in how to hold this umbrella up properly.
At the same time, due to the difficult battle in the early stage, many of our agents were scattered and lost contact. You must find ways to gather these agents. After investigation, those who are not suspected will all be under your command and continue to devote themselves to the war of resistance. "
Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Where are the suspects?"
"We will solve it according to family law." Dai Li answered without hesitation: "It is better to kill by mistake than to let go! The cruelty and complexity of fighting against the enemy makes us not allowed to make any mistakes."
"Shaoyuan understands. The three tigers of the empire? In Shanghai, I turned them into three cats, dead cats!" Meng Shaoyuan became murderous in an instant:
"Crazy revenge? Mr. Dai, the Japanese have guns in their hands, and we also have guns in our hands. It's just a matter of who has faster hands and whose bullets hit the other party earlier."
Dai Li smiled.
What he admired most about Meng Shaoyuan was not his brains and reflexes, but his fearless attitude.
No matter how difficult the task you gave him was, he never said a word of hardship.
"By the way, Shaoyuan, I heard that you know a person named Zhen Naiko from Huari News?"
"yes."
Meng Shaoyuan was startled: "In this rescue of Wan Sibai, I specially used her to spread false information and let the Japanese be fooled."
"Do you know who her father is?"
"Her father?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly thought of something: "Mr. Dai, don't tell me, who is one of the Three Tigers of the Empire?"
"That's right, it's Matsumoto Nitsugi, the person in charge of 'Yun Mansion'!"
Meng Shaoyuan was speechless.
Are there really such coincidences in this world?
I took advantage of Makoto, knowing that the Japanese would definitely find her out, and I still felt a little guilty for involving a 17-year-old girl.
Now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary.
"Matsumoto Nitsuji is a China expert." Dai Li had very clear information: "This person is vigorous and resolute in doing things. Once he makes a decision, he will move forward without hesitation, so he is highly appreciated by his boss. Do you know how many years he has lived in Shanghai? 15 years, a full 15 years Year. I was transferred back to my country just now.”
In other words, when Shinoko was born, Matsumoto Nitsugi came to China.
This man is fluent in Chinese and can even speak a Shanghainese dialect that is difficult to distinguish between true and false. He is proficient in Chinese culture. Mixed among Chinese people, you will never be able to tell that he is a Japanese.
In Shanghai, he had been rivals with Chinese agencies for many years and was called the "Shanghai Tiger" by the Japanese Army Intelligence Department.
When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, his nose twitched, showing disdain.
Originally, with his qualifications, it was not an exaggeration to say that the entire Japanese army's intelligence organization in Shanghai was under his control. However, this man had always looked down on other Japanese spy organizations and always refused any form of cooperation. On the contrary, he is actually more willing to use Chinese people to do things for him.
In his opinion, Chinese people are more familiar with China, and it is easier for Chinese people to deal with Chinese people.
At that time, Dai Li caught hold of this mentality of his and successfully set up a trap to trick him into taking the bait. As a result, he paid a heavy price.
Those colleagues who he looked down upon in the past took the opportunity to make things worse.
Although his superiors appreciated him, they were forced to transfer him back to the country due to pressure.
The first thing he did after returning to China was to send his daughter Manaiko to China to be with his father Hiroyuki Matsumoto, hoping that his daughter could become familiar with China.
Meng Shaoyuan quickly made a basic judgment in his mind:
Makoto is not a spy, and she may not even know that her father is a spy.
But this time when Matsumoto Nitsuji comes back, he is very likely to train Shinoko into a spy.
After all, Makoto has been in China for two years and is already familiar with this country.
Maybe, when he sent her to China, Matsumoto Nitsugi wanted to let Shinoko get familiar with China first?
If this is the case, Makoto is a target that can be used.
On the intelligence front, there are only two types of people, those who are valuable and those who are not.
Meng Shaoyuan was particularly outstanding in this regard.
Once he discovers a valuable person, he will use any means to exploit the last bit of value in him.
There is no self-blame, and there is no so-called sympathy.
"Shaoyuan, when Matsumoto Nitsugi was in Shanghai, he had a complete intelligence network." Dai Li continued: "I have fought with him several times, and the first few times we were tied. The last time, I defeated him and took away most of his intelligence network composed of Chinese people, but I am convinced that he still has a hidden intelligence network waiting to be called in Shanghai.
This time when he returns to Shanghai, he will definitely wake up this intelligence network as soon as possible. Take full advantage of the Japanese army's imminent occupation of Shanghai and fully revive intelligence work. Among the so-called three tigers of the empire, I think this person deserves the most vigilance. Since you and that Manaiko know each other, I think you can definitely use some means to see what Matsumoto Nitsugi wants to do. "
The heroes see the same thing.
Meng Shaoyuan and Dai Li both thought of using Zhen Naiko's relationship at the same time.
But now it seems that it is precisely because of Matsumoto Nitsugi's sudden appearance that he cannot get close to Shinoko again for the time being.
Matsumoto Nitsugi is not Shinako. As long as he communicates with his daughter, he will soon find that there is something wrong with his "Rukawa Kaede".
Stay away from each other for a while, and then take the initiative after finding a suitable opportunity.
"Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan said: "Although the three tigers of the empire belong to different departments and have deep conflicts between them, under the premise of consistent interests, they will be wary of each other and cooperate with each other. When they start to cooperate When the time comes, we can take advantage of the conflicts between us.
However, in Shao Yuan's view, despite this, they still have to cut off their wings first, and then find ways to get rid of one of the three tigers. First, it will make the cooperation between them more difficult. Second, It is also a warning to them. Although Shanghai has fallen, Shanghai is not their Shanghai yet! "
What a big post stage.
This was Dai Li's first instinct.
Meng Shaoyuan not only wants to deal with them, but also seems to be planning to kill one or two of them?
Dai Li didn't say much, and took out a piece of paper: "Shaoyuan, I'm leaving Shanghai. These are some of my senior latent agents in Shanghai. Only I have the specific list. I'll leave it to you now. If needed, If so, you can use these people.”
Baby, this is definitely a baby!
Meng Shaoyuan's eyes lit up.
This list is priceless, and it is a hidden agent directly controlled by Dai Li. What is the concept of that? And now, Dai Li actually gave this list to him?
Meng Shaoyuan carefully took over the list as if he had found a treasure!
