"Three contact points were attacked at the same time, causing heavy losses."
Kawamoto Kojiro reported: "Yuyuan Road, Nogawa Trading Company, and Yoshizheng Trading Company were attacked at the same time. Sixteen people did not survive. And everywhere, the same three words appeared, 'Liao Yuting'!"
"Liao Yuting!" Matsumoto Nitsugi, the acting head of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai, looked a little ugly: "This person was a very important person to us before, but now something happened to him."
"The war has begun." Kawamoto Kojiro said quickly: "Liao Yuting assassinated and kidnapped a large number of military commanders. I think it was because of this willingness that he finally completely angered the military commanders and launched a full range of revenge actions."
"Major Hahara, what do you think?" Matsumoto Nitsugi's eyes fell on Hahara Koichi: "This assassination plan against Meng Shaoyuan was proposed by you. The reward of five million yen has indeed stimulated many people, but when So far, Meng Shaoyuan is still living well, but we have suffered too many sacrifices."
Hahara Koichi still looked very calm: "However, this plan did have a very good effect. Meng Shaoyuan was harassed a lot, and he had to allocate a large part of his energy to deal with this assassination. Many of his people died. , so his current act of revenge proves that he is impatient. Many of us have died, and many of the other side have also died. Your Excellency, Colonel, what we have to do now is to see who has more endurance. "
On the side, Miao Chengfang has been listening quietly.
Koichi Hahara.
He even somewhat admired this person.
It was he who suggested the establishment of an institution dedicated to studying Meng Shaoyuan.
It was also at his strong suggestion that a reward of five million yen was set up.
Yes, Meng Shaoyuan was in trouble.
Especially Liao Yuting, he is really annoying.
He was like a fly, buzzing around Meng Shaoyuan all day long.
Meng Shaoyuan's revenge was very violent and forceful. It was just killing people, which was not what a senior intelligence officer should do.
The three giants of military unification in Shanghai:
Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming, Meng Shaoyuan.
Japan specially selected Meng Shaoyuan to attack, and it was in a posture of defeating everyone.
"Report." A Japanese agent hurriedly walked in: "Zhengjin Bank has been robbed."
"What?"
Matsumoto Hitoshi was startled: "Loss?"
"One and a half million yen, all robbed."
Matsumoto Nitsugi's face became extremely ugly.
What he cares about most is the funds.
Although Shanghai was controlled by Japan, the public concession was still independent. To survive and expand in this place, funding is essential.
This 1.5 million yen is really important to the Japanese special agencies.
The salaries to be paid to those agents and the next funding for each department are all included in this 1.5 million yuan.
It can even be said that no matter how many people die, Matsumoto Nitsugi can bear it, but losing such a large sum of money to the old man may bring the operation of the Japanese special agencies to a standstill, which has exceeded his bottom line. .
"There were more than a dozen robbers, all wearing masks, which were partially the same as the masks used during the first Zhengjin Bank robbery. Moreover, according to the description of the bank staff at the scene, all of these robbers were women."
"All women?"
Everyone felt incredible to the extreme.
When did so many female robbers appear on Shanghai's beaches?
"The robbers also left a message at the scene, 'Hand over Liao Yuting, otherwise there will be another time!'"
"Liao Yuting, it's Liao Yuting again!" Matsumoto Nitsuji's face twisted: "Baga, not only do you kill people, you also steal money. Is Meng Shaoyuan crazy?"
Miao Chengfang smiled.
Matsumoto Hitsugu was anxious, really anxious this time.
He was originally worried that Meng Shaoyuan was too radical and too desperate, but now it seems that his worries were completely unnecessary. Meng Shaoyuan accurately hit the Japanese seven inches:
money!
In Shanghai, without money you are nothing!
"If Meng Shaoyuan was responsible for this robbery, then that means he was also responsible for the last Zhengjin Bank robbery?" Kawamoto Kojiro frowned.
"It doesn't look like it." Matsumoto Nitsuji frowned: "I checked the information carefully. In the first Zhengjin Bank robbery, Meng Shaoyuan was still in Nanjing, and the forces did not enter Shanghai at all, and the first Zhengjin Bank robbery The case is related to a woman."
"Now we are not investigating who committed the robbery." Koichi Hahara said: "Even if Meng Shaoyuan was responsible for both robberies, what can we do? He can deny it. The great thing about this robbery is The thing is, we clearly know that it is related to Meng Shaoyuan, but there is no evidence to prove him, and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau will not care. He actually used a group of women to commit robbery? Interesting, really interesting. "
"Major Hahara, you actually find it interesting?" Matsumoto Nitsugi became obviously unhappy: "The empire's agents are being massacred and our funds are being robbed. Do you think these things are interesting?"
Koichi Hahara has no interface.
But he really found it very interesting.
How many resources does Meng Shaoyuan have at his disposal? This is also where the research office needs to focus on the next step. He even used women?
Well, this is worth learning on your own.
Every resource around you is useful.
Meng Shaoyuan taught himself a good lesson.
"Mr. Miao." Matsumoto Nitsugi turned to Miao Chengfang: "The situation is now very urgent. What do you think is our most appropriate response?"
"It's very simple." Miao Chengfang said calmly: "The first is to launch the strongest counterattack and never give in, but this will bring the two sides into a full-scale exchange of fire. In the end, who cannot withstand the casualties, that is loser."
Matsumoto Hitsugu slowly shook his head.
Although he is known as the "Three Tigers of the Empire" and acts as the acting director of the Shanghai Agency, he knows very well the meaning of the word "acting".
A powerful person will soon replace him. As a transitional person, the most important thing is to maintain stability and not make any major mistakes during his agency period.
You can have no merit, but you can't have any mistakes.
This is also the secret of officialdom.
Regardless of whether you are a spy or not, you are actually working in a workplace, and getting along well in this workplace is not much different from how you do it in a company.
He wants to hand over a complete Shanghai secret service agency to his successor.
"Then, there is the second way." Miao Chengfang said slowly: "Don't cancel the five million reward, otherwise, it will damage the majesty of the empire. Continue to hang there, when those killers have passed their initial passion , if it is found that the task is not so easy to complete, the enthusiasm will slowly disappear, and the majesty of the empire will be preserved.
The biggest trouble now comes from Liao Yuting. We still don’t know why he is so fanatical, and we can’t even directly control him. I would like to ask, how many of you here have seen Liao Yuting? I suggest that to abandon Liao Yuting, we can even implicitly inform Meng Shaoyuan of this decision. Meng Shaoyuan is a smart man and he knows what to do. "
"No, absolutely not!" Koichi Hahara objected without hesitation: "Mr. Miao, Your Excellency, Chief of Agency, so far, Liao Yuting is the most advantageous chess piece we use to deal with Meng Shaoyuan. His existence can make Meng Shaoyuan separate. The heart can make Meng Shaoyuan exhausted. Giving up on him is equivalent to doing Meng Shaoyuan a favor."
"So, what is the situation we are facing now?" Miao Chengfang asked.
"Difficulties are temporary." Koichi Hahara said coldly: "It's like two boxers competing to see who can last to the end. Meng Shaoyuan can give us a blow, and we can also give him a heavy blow. He faces The difficulties are actually much greater than ours, after all, Shanghai still belongs to us!"
Miao Chengfang smiled: "Major Hahara, I'm curious, why do you support Liao Yuting so much? Did you reach any agreement with him?"
Hikaru Hahara glanced at him: "Yes, there is an agreement."
Everyone was startled.
Hanbara Koichi said calmly: "But it is not the agreement I reached with him, but the agreement reached with Mr. Doihara."
"What? Lord Doihara?"
This time, even Matsumoto Nitsugi was a little surprised.
"Yes, at this time, I think if I don't explain the situation, it may have a more adverse impact on Liao Yuting's situation." Hahara Koichi took a deep breath:
"Do you really think that Liao Yuting pursued Meng Shaoyuan at all costs for the five million yen? You can imagine how much manpower and material resources he used in the entire process of pursuing Meng Shaoyuan. A traitorous A former military reunification agent, does he still have so much energy today?
Everyone, he was sent by Your Excellency Dofeihara. Your Excellency commanded the 14th Division to fight on the battlefield in China. However, he still paid great attention to intelligence work. I reported to you the situation of Meng Shaoyuan in Shanghai. Your Excellency believes that it is best to deal with Meng Shaoyuan. The best way is to use Chinese people to deal with Chinese people. And Liao Yuting is a sharp knife in your hand. "
Matsumoto Nitsuji was a little dissatisfied.
This damn major actually skipped him and directly reported the situation in Shanghai to General Doihara. Of course he knew that Koichi Hahara was a subordinate of Kenji Doihara in the past, but he couldn't tolerate this kind of overstepping of rank.
It's just that Matsumoto Nitsuji ignored one thing. In the Japanese army, too many things happened that jumped the rank.
"And I was ordered to give full assistance to Liao Yuting." Koichi Hahara didn't care about the reactions of others at all: "Please believe that although Liao Yuting missed twice, it has caused great trouble to Meng Shaoyuan. He will definitely succeed. The difficulties we face are also temporary, and victory will definitely belong to the Empire of Japan."
"I am really touched by Major Hahara's determination." Matsumoto Hitsugu had something to say: "Who can disobey Lord Doihara's order?"
