Kawakami Hideki is the son of Kawakami Katsukichi. Just like Yamashita Yuri, his father has instilled the idea of being close to China since he was a child.
The environment in which a person grows up determines his or her future life path. Yamashita Yuri is like this, and Kawakami Hideki is like this.
They are Japanese, but they are close to China at heart and are willing to be friends with the Chinese, although there are not many such people in Japan.
Kawakami Hideki's wife is the daughter of a high-ranking Japanese official. The Kawakami family is from a scholarly family. The high-ranking official also thought that he was a good match and went out to protect the Kawakami family. Kawakami Katsuki agreed to the marriage.
Relying on the protection of his father-in-law, Hideki Kawakami became an officer and entered the Ninth Division of Japan's main division. Before the Battle of Songhu broke out, he was promoted to captain and served in the relatively safe Engineer Regiment. Perform logistical duties.
As one of the earlier troops to enter Shanghai to participate in the war, the artillery fire in Shanghai and the blood of the Chinese people deeply hurt Kawakami Hideki's heart.
In particular, Colonel Tosada Nonaka of the 9th Engineer Regiment shot and killed four innocent Chinese civilians. After Hideki Kawakami witnessed it with his own eyes, he had a fierce conflict with his superiors and was imprisoned for several days.
If it weren't for his father-in-law, he would have been sent back to the country by now.
It was during these few days of confinement that Hideki Kawakami made a decision that would affect his life:
Unable to allow himself to continue like this, he decided to call for an end to the war, expose the atrocities of his commanders, and use the pressure of public opinion to get the Japanese to sit at the negotiating table.
After hearing this, Meng Shaoyuan felt that Hideki Kawakami was a very good person, but very naive.
If war could be prevented by this method, the Japanese would have stopped long ago. Maybe it’s because Hideki Kawakami has been in a protected environment since childhood.
Kawakami Hideki knew that he simply couldn't do it with his own strength.
By coincidence, the Ninth Regiment captured several Chinese officers and soldiers and imprisoned them.
The Engineer Regiment was not good at taking care of prisoners of war. Taking this opportunity, Hideki Kawakami secretly released a platoon leader and asked him to bring a letter to his commander.
The platoon leader successfully completed the task, and the letter was finally delivered to the military commander Zhou Weilong.
The general meaning of the letter is that Hideki Kawakami briefly introduced his identity and expressed that he wanted to leave the army and hoped to get help from China.
Moreover, he also explained the exact time and place of his planned escape, which was inseparable from China's support.
Zhou Weilong did not dare to neglect and reported to Dai Li immediately. When Dai Li heard that he was the son of Kawakami Katsuki, who had been praised by the chairman, he immediately ordered Cheng Yiming, who was working as a political worker, to personally take charge of the matter and keep it strictly confidential.
"On October 29, we picked up Hideki Kawakami at the agreed location and took him to the public concession for hiding." Cheng Yiming said in great detail: "This matter is of great importance and no trace of it can be revealed. Shaoyuan, You also know what it means for Hideki Kawakami to surrender to us."
Of course Meng Shaoyuan knew.
The value of Hideki Kawakami is mainly political propaganda.
The intelligence he can provide is limited, so political propaganda is the main purpose.
Cheng Yiming's face suddenly became a little ugly: "We hid Hideki Kawakami for a few days, but later, Hideki Kawakami was kidnapped by the Japanese."
"What?" Meng Shaoyuan was shocked: "How could he be kidnapped by the Japanese?"
"Because there is a traitor among us."
"traitor?"
"You also know this person, and he even has a relationship with you. Chen Rongyang!"
Chen Rongyang?
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned.
Chen Rongyang, his classmate at the Hangzhou Police School, turned out to be a traitor?
As soon as he mentioned this name, Cheng Yiming said bitterly: "Chen Rongyang was timid in the face of the enemy. He should have enforced the family law, but he came to me and cried out his difficulties. I felt soft-hearted and kept him. I originally thought I saved his life, and he should repay the favor, but I never thought that he would be the one who harmed me in the end.
At first, he acted conscientiously and changed his ways, and I gradually began to believe him. After Kawakami Hideki arrived, the defeat of the Songhu Battle was already over. We were all actively preparing for the post-war affairs and the personnel were tight. After much consideration, I handed over Kawakami Hideki to Chen Rongyang for protection. I didn’t expect that this beast! "
Chen Rongyang secretly contacted the Japanese secret service and told the Japanese where Hideki Kawakami was hiding.
Subsequently, the Japanese raided the hiding place and shot two military agents to death. Chen Rongyang and Kawakami Hideki disappeared.
Meng Shaoyuan went from being shocked at first to becoming calm now. He listened quietly as Cheng Yiming continued:
"Chen Rongyang's death is not a pity, but Kawakami Hideki was too important. Director Dai found out and immediately rushed back to Shanghai from Nanjing. I won't go into details about the specific reprimand. He gave me a big fault and ordered me to stay in Japan. Before people move Hideki Kawakami, we must rescue him, otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to return to my hometown to farm."
Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Then how do you know that 'Dog Er' is Hideki Kawakami?"
Cheng Yiming sighed: "We gave Kawakami Hideki the code name 'Butterfly', and our internal sources in the Japanese special agencies provided us with intelligence. The Japanese gave Kawakami Hideki the code name 'Dog Ear', and they were also very worried that we would He tried every means to recapture Hideki Kawakami, so he hid him in the 'dog hole', and this dog hole is Japan's Zhengjin Bank!"
Zhengjin Bank?
Did you personally lead someone to rob this bank?
This bank has very close relations with the Japanese government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In other words, Chen Rongyang contacted the secret service agency of the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which also explains why Akagi Oikayuki was responsible for this matter.
"Originally, Hideki Kawakami was about to be taken away from the public concession recently, but Oyuki Akagi was suddenly assassinated, disrupting the entire Japanese plan." Cheng Yiming immediately said: "We also thought about pretending to be bandits and storming Zhengjin Bank. But because Zhengjin Bank has been robbed before, they have strengthened their defense forces and it is difficult for a strong attack to be effective."
So speaking of that, does this matter still have something to do with me?
Meng Shaoyuan asked calmly: "What are you going to do now?"
"Once Hideki Kawakami is sent out of the public concession, everything will be over." Cheng Yiming was worried: "So Mr. Dai sent me a telegram. Since you already know about it, then I will tell you the whole story. Moreover, you are personally responsible for the rescue plan."
How can it be that simple?
Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Secretary Cheng, who is your insider in the Japanese secret service? Why do you know this so well?"
"He is an agent from a contact point of the Japanese special agency. He is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent..."
Cheng Yiming's answer was a little perfunctory.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled and did not ask any further questions.
Each of these latent personnel is treated as a treasure by superiors like Cheng Yiming. Who is willing to tell each other and share resources?
"Secretary Cheng, since it is the order issued by Director Dai personally, then I have no choice but to implement it." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "However, Kawakami Hideki is currently being protected in Zhengjin Bank, so it is not easy to do anything. We have to lure them out. No."
"What you do is up to you. If you need help, just ask."
"Thank you, Secretary Cheng. I have another question."
"Say it."
"What should I do about Chen Rongyang?"
Cheng Yiming obviously hesitated.
Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "Although he is my classmate and has a good relationship with me, he betrayed the country and the nation, violated family laws, rebelled and surrendered to the enemy. There is no way to survive."
"You will die if you do it." Cheng Yiming took out a cigarette and lit it: "To be honest, I still admire Chen Rongyang very much. I sent him to the Hangzhou Police Academy with the intention of cultivating him. He made a mistake, and I wholeheartedly protected him. , I hope he can correct his mistakes after he realizes it, I never expected it... When you see him, there is no need to be polite."
"Since Secretary Cheng said this, I feel relieved." Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be satisfied with this answer: "Secretary Cheng, don't worry, I will try my best to complete the task."
"It's not about trying your best, but about completing the task no matter what." Cheng Yiming put out the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs on, and stood up: "Whether I can keep my position or not, I leave it to you, brother."
"Do not worry."
Meng Shaoyuan sent Cheng Yiming away, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and flicked the cigarette case.
Hideki Kawakami? Dog ears? Butterfly?
Zhengjin Bank?
How to save?
"Wu Jingyi!"
"coming."
Meng Shaoyuan played with the cigarette in his hand: "Tell me, if a Japanese is being guarded by a group of Japanese and is being transported out of Shanghai, how can he be saved?"
Wu Jingyi asked: "Director Meng, are you ready to resign?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"How to save it is your task. You make the plan and we are responsible for executing it. You ask me how to save it? I am not the director."
Who are these people?
He simply has no boss.
Meng Shaoyuan was so angry that he threw the cigarette on the table: "Cheng, Cheng, sooner or later I will be mad at you. Immediately send someone to closely monitor Zhengjin Bank 24 hours a day. If there is any trouble, I will be the first to do so." Time will tell.”
"Understood." Wu Jingyi did not dare to neglect at all when her superiors assigned combat tasks.
But Master Meng, you must not give him a good look, otherwise, he may cause some trouble that will make you laugh or cry.
"Also, secretly inform Nitta Yuki that I want to see him as soon as possible."
Nitta Yuki is living a pretty good life now. Both Yoshio Wanda, the head of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai, and the newly transferred Matsumoto Nitsugi, all regard this person very highly.
Wu Jingyi accepted the order and was about to go out, but was suddenly stopped by Meng Shaoyuan: "Assistant Wu, what do you think my face looks like?"
like what? Wu Jingyi was confused. Is this young master Meng really starting to make trouble again?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled mockingly: "Tell me, does my face look particularly stupid?"
