"This is the way the relationship between the two of us should be."
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Look, before making my request, let's first listen to what benefits I can give you. First, I will give you a fixed amount of funds every month to alleviate your urgent need for funds. Of course, if If you provide me with valuable information, I will pay for it separately as I did in the past."
For Kawashima Yoshiko, who was once almost recruited by Dai Li, almost a double agent, and a military intelligence officer, and coupled with her previous cooperation with Meng Shaoyuan, it was basically no difficulty for her to agree to this condition.
However, Yoshiko Kawashima still had concerns. If she followed this policy, would she become Meng Shaoyuan's subordinate? There is still an essential difference in this.
Meng Shaoyuan also repeatedly told her that the relationship between them was just a cooperative relationship, which reassured Yoshiko Kawashima.
Cooperation is based on interests. Without interests, there will be no long-term cooperation.
"In Nanjing, there is a woman from Shanghai named Akagi Aisha." Meng Shaoyuan suddenly said: "I killed this woman's husband, and she followed me with all her heart and wanted to kill me."
Kawashima Yoshiko suddenly laughed: "You killed someone else's husband, and it is normal for someone to avenge their father."
Yes, yes, theoretically speaking, Aisa Akagi really seems to have done nothing wrong.
When Meng Shaoyuan thought of this woman, he really had a headache: "Women are better suited to deal with women. You have to help me pester him to make me leave Nanjing."
"Deal with her?" Yoshiko Kawashima frowned: "I don't know her..."
"I have a plan, but I don't know if it will work."
Meng Shaoyuan slowly expressed his thoughts...
This Aya Akagi's ghost lingers, which is really troublesome.
Wherever he goes, she goes, and she only wants to kill him.
Meng Shaoyuan's problem is that he still has no way to concentrate on killing Aya Akagi. After all, this woman is not a particularly important Japanese spy.
Manpower is already tight, and it is not cost-effective to mobilize special personnel to deal with Aya Akagi.
Forget it, let's talk about it later, wait until there is a chance to deal with that woman in the future.
"Mr. Meng, please rest assured." Yoshiko Kawashima smiled again: "I like working with you. Of course, remember to transfer money to my account every month."
"Don't worry, I won't treat my friends badly."
…
Caodu Lane, the former headquarters of Nanjing Military Command.
"Your Excellency Major, Katsumi Kazeji is willing to confess."
"Oh, really?" Koichi Hahara raised his head: "Bring him in."
A man with wounds all over his body and blood on his face was brought in.
"Ask him to sit down."
Hahara Koichi's words still sounded very polite. He glanced at the man: "Name?"
"Katsumi Kazeji, Sir Major, we are one of our own."
"Of course I know that we are our own people." Hanbara Koichi said calmly: "You are affiliated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In Nanjing, you are under the command of Noikawa Shoji. Don't worry, your commander doesn't know that you are here and thinks that you are here. You were kidnapped by the Chinese. I'm embarrassed to have made you suffer, but I have to do it.
I received a piece of information that Aisa Akagi, the wife of His Excellency Akagi Chiyuki, former chief of the Shanghai Public Concession Police Department, arrived in Nanjing and quickly got in touch with Masaji Kikagawa. They seemed to be looking for someone. But people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely not tell me the truth. So, can you tell me? "
"Meng Shaoyuan." Shenghai Fengci said the name with difficulty.
"Meng Shaoyuan? Which Meng Shaoyuan?"
"Military commander, that Meng Shaoyuan from the latent zone in Shanghai." Katsumi Kazeji didn't dare to hide anything anymore: "According to Mrs. Akagi, he was the one who killed Lord Akagi, and she received the news that Meng Shaoyuan has arrived in Nanjing."
"Meng Shaoyuan arrived in Nanjing?" Hahara Guangyi asked immediately: "Tell me everything you know!"
"Yes, he was on a military train in Shanghai with a woman. After we got the information, under the command of Captain Guichuan, we prepared to arrest him at the train station, but failed. Mrs. Akagi rushed to Nanjing in person. The purpose is to catch this person.”
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Koichi Hahara interrupted him: "You mean, Meng Shaoyuan came to Nanjing with a woman?"
"Yes, that's what the intelligence says."
"Come here." Koichi Hahara said hurriedly: "Arrest Shimamoto Narumi immediately. If there is resistance, kill him without mercy! Take Katsumi Kazeji down and continue the interrogation."
"yes."
Katsumi Kazeji was taken out, and Hahara Koichi smiled bitterly: "We were fooled. Whether it's Rukawa Kaede or Shimamoto Narumi, he is Meng Shaoyuan!"
"No way, Your Excellency Major? If he is really Meng Shaoyuan, is he so bold to come here? Maybe it's a coincidence, it's another man and woman?"
"It's not a coincidence. The so-called 'Shimamoto Narumi' who has been lurking for so long suddenly appeared in Nanjing. Why? Makoto, the daughter of Colonel Matsumoto, is such a clever cover-up." Koichi Hahara pondered there: " For him to be able to walk in here openly is to take advantage of the psychology of all of us. He didn't dare, but he just did it.
Think about it from another angle, since he was on that train, why wasn't he caught? In addition to transporting supplies, that military train also has the Second Transportation Surveillance Team of the Chongteng Detachment. The safest place for him to go is to find a way to sneak into the officer's compartment. Without your better cover, it's such a clever disguise. What a smart person. people. "
He picked up the cigarette case on the table: "But why did he take the risk to come to Nanjing? What important mission does he have? I can't think of it. It must be a particularly important mission that would require him to take action in person. Ah, no, I'm so sorry Zi! Zhen Naizi must be carrying the things that Meng Shao originally wanted her to take out. Yes, the things have arrived in Shanghai! "
"Your Majesty, Major." His subordinates said cautiously: "Is that Makoto really the daughter of Colonel Matsumoto?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed."
"It's terrible that His Excellency Colonel's daughter can be used by him. I suggest that you report this serious incident to your superiors immediately."
"Report?" Koichi Hahara took out a cigarette and lit it: "Do you know how many people were involved in this matter? The first was my brother. He actually escorted Meng Shaoyuan to the military column and introduced him to me. Finally The best outcome would be that he would be forced to retire from the army, which would suit his wishes. But the worst outcome would be to go to court-martial.
Then there is Colonel Matsumoto Hitsugu. His daughter helped a Chinese secret agent. This is a very serious accusation. He is a meritorious service to the empire, one of the three tigers of the empire. It's terrible. This will turn into a scandal. Those in the military will keep it secret and try every means to protect him. When that time comes, Colonel Matsumoto will definitely vent his anger on us.
Next is Colonel Hiraga Shinsaku of the Shigeto detachment. If what I guessed before was correct, Meng Shaoyuan entered the officer's compartment to take advantage of him. The Chongteng detachment has also made repeated military exploits, and now bears the important task of ensuring the safety of Nanjing. Offending two colonels at once? It's so funny, we're going to offend everyone.
The last one is me. Lo and behold, I met with Meng Shaoyuan and believed his words. What was even more ridiculous was that I gave him a special pass. According to the investigation from above, the two colonels may be able to survive safely, but I, a little major, will definitely be the first to get out. There is always a need for a scapegoat. Is there any more suitable scapegoat than me? "
The subordinates’ brows knitted together: “Then what should we do?”
"If I can capture Meng Shaoyuan, then all my worries will cease to exist. But since he is the ace agent of the military commander, I think by this time, he must no longer be where he lived before." Koichi Hahara smiled: " Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan has never been to Nanjing."
"Never been to Nanjing?"
"Yes, this is based on the premise that we cannot capture him. Aya Akagi received false information. Nanjing is so heavily guarded. How could Meng Shaoyuan come to Nanjing to take risks?" Koichi Hahara laughed at himself: "Look, what a smart guy this is. He may have guessed that we would do this. We have to find ways to cover up our incompetence.
Think about it, now that what he needs has been sent out through Zhen Naiko, then he will consider how to leave Nanjing next. The fastest way is to take the train. Listen, take people to the train station immediately. If anyone is found carrying a special pass signed by me, no matter who it is, they will be detained first. "
"clear!"
"Also, seek the help of the gendarmerie and try our best to find Meng Shaoyuan's hiding place. However, I think this may be difficult. Oh, the city gate is probably a place he can use. Send some reliable people there, and be sure to get out of the city. The people will conduct strict interrogations."
"Yes, I'll do it immediately."
"Your Excellency, Major." The officer who was ordered to arrest Meng Shaoyuan hurried in: "When we arrived at the residence, Shimamoto Narumi was no longer there, and his luggage was not found."
"Yes, he is very good at hiding himself." Mitsuru Hahara was not surprised at all: "If those guys from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could have told us this important information as early as possible, Meng Shaoyuan would have become a prisoner of the Japanese Empire now. It's a pity. Ah, the conflict between us is destined that this kind of thing will not happen, it’s time to rectify it, it’s time to rectify it completely.”
He stared outside the door, and then murmured:
"Mr. Meng, you are such a smart person. I don't know if you can be considered your opponent. If you are willing to admit it, then I will be very honored. I will use my whole life to catch you."
There is no need to fight with each other all day long between opponents, but to give each other more respect.
Only by respecting your opponent can you find his weaknesses and defeat him.
At least that's what Koichi Hahara tried!
