"Now is the best time to assassinate Akagi Oikayuki!"
No one thought that the military commander would never assassinate the police chief of a public concession industrial bureau at such a time.
The Nationalist Government needed the support of the international community, and the public concessions were regarded by the great powers as their best interests in China. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau was worried about angering the Japanese who occupied Shanghai.
What would be the consequences of assassinating a police commissioner?
No normal person would make such a crazy decision.
The issue is:
Normal people.
There are many normal people in this world, and there are also many "abnormal" people.
for example:
Meng Shaoyuan!
This person's way of thinking has never been normal.
Kill Chiaki Akagi!
When Meng Shaoyuan made this decision, Wu Jingyi was shocked.
This young master Meng is going crazy again.
As his assistant, although Wu Jingyi knew it was difficult, she still had to do her best to persuade him: "Director Meng, have you considered the consequences?"
"Consequences? What consequences?" Meng Shaoyuan looked confused.
Wu Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't care whether Master Meng really didn't know or was pretending: "Chimu Akagi is the police chief of the Ministry of Industry Bureau and has just taken office. If he is assassinated at this time, it will completely anger the Japanese and the same will happen." To anger the Ministry of Industry and Commerce."
Meng Shaoyuan said "Oh": "So what?"
Wu Jingyi was driven crazy by this Young Master Meng: "It won't be anything like that. We will just suffer crazy revenge from the Japanese, and then the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will also arrest and expel our agents. In the future, we will be in the public concession It’s hard to move even an inch!”
"So serious?" Meng Shaoyuan seriously considered it: "But can we think about it in reverse?"
Reverse Thinking? How to think backwards?
Meng Shaoyuan knew very well that even if he had not appeared in this era, Akagi Qizhi would still be dead.
Not only was he dead, but the attitude of the Japanese was astonishing, as they did not make any reaction for several months.
At that time, even Dai Li, including Dai Li, was prepared to face the violent storm, but no one expected such a result.
After the death of Chichi Akagi, the new spy chain set up by Japan in Shanghai suffered a heavy blow, but why did the Japanese not take countermeasures for so long?
But Meng Shaoyuan knew why. Thinking reversely, no one thought about it from this point of view.
"I have repeatedly said that we must make full use of the contradictions in Japan's spy agencies." Meng Shaoyuan finally stopped joking: "The Japanese Army, Navy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs simultaneously dispatched the so-called 'Three Imperial Tigers', and let Shinyuki Akagi serve as a police officer. The director, who holds all the power, is from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He seems to have a legitimate name, but in fact he has seriously dissatisfied the Japanese army and navy organizations.
If Akagi Oka died, it would not harm the interests of the Japanese army and navy at all. Their main purpose was to occupy the entire China. The death of a spy had nothing to do with them. What's more, the person who died was a general of a competitor? What about the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Will they protest to the Nationalist Government, which is in a state of war, or to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in the Public Settlement?
National Government? We are at war. You kill my people and I kill your people. It is normal. What's more, do you have evidence that I killed him? In one word, shameless. The Japanese use the word shameless very skillfully. The question is, if you are allowed to be a shameless person, why can't I be shameless? How can there be such a truth in this world?
As for the Ministry of Industry and Industry? That would be more fun. Please note that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan represents a country. What does the public settlement represent? It is a specific group. The Japanese government will put pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau to solve the case within a time limit, arrest the murderer, etc. This is all they can do, but more interesting things are coming.
What is the identity of Chiyuki Akagi? An agent of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs? No, his identity is the Police Commissioner of the Shanghai Public Settlement Bureau of Industry! In this sense, his immediate boss is not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, but the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry! A staff member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau has died, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no right to intervene! "
Wu Jingyi was completely stunned when she heard this.
How does Master Meng's mind work? If it were another person, you wouldn't be able to connect these things even if you gave him a few days and nights, right?
The dignified Japanese spy chief is dead, but Japan has no way to intervene?
"Then, we can talk about the attitude of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau." Meng Shaoyuan had already calculated all the things that might happen: "What will happen to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau after Akagi's death? They will be very angry and swear by the deadline. Solve the case. Then what? No, they know who did it, but they will not interfere deeply.
They were afraid of the Japanese and equally worried about the Chinese reaction. The great powers are all paper tigers. It was still during the Qing Dynasty. Ningbo people protested in the public concession and united as one. The public concession was subdued. When the Republic of China was first established, Anhui people protested in the public concessions and went on strike, but the public concessions relented.
They know very well that the public concession is on Chinese soil after all. You can dominate here, but you cannot go too far and challenge the bottom line of the Chinese people. The whole people are fighting against each other, and everyone is united. In Shanghai now, the smoke of the war is still lingering. If you arrest and expel Chinese people at this juncture, they know better than us what the consequences will be.
Therefore, after Chiaki Akagi died, they would do a lot on the surface and even arrest a few of us to deal with the Japanese, but in essence they were just trying to make things easier and make big things smaller and smaller things nothing. The trick is one word, procrastination. If we drag it on, this matter will go unsolved and become an unsolved case in Shanghai, unless we ourselves admit that we killed Akagi Yoshiyuki! "
Wu Jingyi was convinced.
Master Meng clearly analyzed the psychology of the Japanese and those in the Ministry of Industry and Industry.
That's why he was so confident to hunt down Akagi Oikayuki.
"Not only must we do this, but the sooner we do it, the better." Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "We must not let Akagi Qinzhi gain a foothold in the public concession. Everything we have now has been earned through hard work. Wu Jingyi .”
"exist."
"Comprehensively investigate Akagi's whereabouts. I want to know clearly what time he goes out every day, where he goes, and where he plans to go."
"yes."
"It's a pity that Lu Qinghong is not in Shanghai. Help me find a sharpshooter."
"yes."
"Do it immediately."
When Wu Jingyi went out, she was muttering in her heart.
During the three months of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, military agents suffered heavy casualties.
Some people outside have incorporated the sacrificed military agents into the story, saying that they were stars in the sky who came down to earth.
If all this is true, then what kind of god is Master Meng?
…
Margaret Hall, Coventry, England.
The respected Mr. Daniel has been back in the UK from far away China for some time.
Having completed his debriefing in London, he suspended his work and returned to the estate that bore his lady's name.
Margaret Manor was bought in Coventry a year ago with the money he earned in China.
I really miss China.
After working in China for several years, when he returned to the UK, he found no interest in any position he was asked to hold.
I really doubt Meng Shaoyuan.
My dear Meng, my dear God of Wealth, can I see you again?
Early this morning, Baron Wiggins came to visit. The two talked about the international situation, and then naturally they talked about the war currently going on in the Far East.
"Japan has completely destroyed peace."
Having lived in China for such a long time, although the war between the two countries had nothing to do with the British, Daniel naturally chose to take sides:
"Shanghai is one of the few modern and open cities in China. Countries have invested heavily in Shanghai. Now all this has been ruined by the damn Japanese."
"Yes, this is also related to the interests of the United Kingdom." Baron Wiggins looked serious: "The British Empire has been working in China for many years. Our relationship with China is very complicated. We must be wary of this country, but we do not want to see it. The country was destroyed in the war. So my friend in London told me that Britain is preparing to send a special envoy to visit China secretly to observe the extent of damage in Shanghai and the possible direction of the war, and to be responsible for communicating with China and Japan."
For a moment, Daniel's eyes lit up.
back to China? back to China!
"Your Excellency, Baron." Daniel said impatiently: "Who else is more suitable than me? I have lived in China for so many years, especially in Shanghai, and I know this city very well. Your Excellency, Baron, you and Prime Minister Chamberlain are the same Friend, I suggest that you recommend to His Excellency the Prime Minister that I should be appointed to this position."
"Ah, you are indeed very suitable." Baron Wiggins mused: "But you just came back from Shanghai, and you have to travel thousands of miles to Shanghai again. It is too hard and too harsh on you."
"For the benefit of the British Empire, I am willing to take on any difficult tasks." Daniel's expression was so serious: "I will take up this position well. Please don't hesitate any longer, Your Excellency Baron, I will let someone buy it right away." Train ticket and I’ll go to London with you.”
"In such a hurry?"
"Yes, the interests of the British Empire cannot be delayed for a moment!" Daniel shouted impatiently: "Butler, butler, buy the fastest train ticket to London immediately!"
God, Mr. Daniel is so fucked up about the British Empire. At this moment, Baron Wiggins's heart was filled with respect for Mr. Daniel.
Shanghai, Shanghai, beautiful city, here I come.
Meng Shaoyuan, my dearest God of Wealth...Friend, I am here. Presumably, you miss me very much during my absence, right?
Ah, that idiot Sinclair doesn't know how his relationship with Meng Shaoyuan is getting along. I hope he can give Meng Shaoyuan some help this time when he returns to Shanghai.
Then, you can also give your wallet some help.
Daniel's heart has already flown to Meng Shaoyuan!
