Today, the security at Chen Lu's home is tighter than before.
A large number of Japanese agents appeared inside and outside Chen Lu's house.
There was even a machine gun set up at the gate post.
Matsumoto Nitsugi, the head of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai, also came to Chen Lu's house early with his subordinates Kawamoto Kojiro, Hahara Koichi, and Miao Chengfang.
They have only one purpose:
Yoshikawa Gomen!
The nephew of the Emperor of Japan, the younger brother of Sadasa Yoshikawa, the head of the secret service agencies of the five provinces of North China, and the head of the Intelligence Research and Operations Section, Colonel Yoshikawa Gomon!
The pseudo-Nanjing Reform Government was established amidst great peace and bloodshed, which left a very bad impression on Colonel Yoshikawa Gomon.
Whether the newly occupied territory can be quickly controlled not only considers the ability of the local commander, but also tests the ability of the secret service agency.
North-South cooperation will definitely be carried out, but how it will be carried out and who will take the dominant position, Yoshikawa Gomon believes that it must be carefully evaluated.
When he was in North China, he was always known as a smiling tiger, smiling at everyone he saw.
After the fall of Baoding, a Japanese lieutenant colonel was accidentally captured by the local resistance organization. The leader of the resistance organization, You Shaojiu, offered to use this lieutenant in exchange for five of his comrades who were captured and imprisoned by the Japanese army.
This matter was left to Yoshikawa Gomon.
Yoshikawa Wumen secretly negotiated with You Shaojiu twice before and after. Each time, he only brought a small number of bodyguards as agreed, and his attitude was kind. He would even put forward some very pertinent opinions to them from the standpoint of the resistance organization.
This also made You Shaojiu lose his vigilance.
Finally, on the appointed day, the hostage exchange between the two parties was completed without any problems.
But that night, the resistance organization's base camp was raided by the Japanese army.
It turned out that Yoshikawa Gomon had already bribed one of those five people.
The traitor left a mark on his way back.
Most of the people in the resistance organization died, and You Shaojiu also fell into the hands of the Japanese.
After being tortured, Yoshikawa Wumen cut off his head with his own hands and hung it at the gate of Baoding City.
Therefore, this person is regarded as the biggest enemy besides Yoshikawa Sadao by the North China underground resistance organization.
This time, North China sent this person to participate in the establishment of the pseudo-Nanjing Reform Government, firstly to explore the prospects for North-South cooperation, and secondly to show that the North attaches great importance to it.
Matsumoto Jintsugi received special instructions from his superiors to ensure the safety of Yoshikawa Gomon during his stay in Shanghai and to prevent any accidents.
Even Yoshikawa Sadao personally sent a telegram to Matsumoto Nitsugi, asking him to take good care of his younger brother.
Matsumoto Nitsuji didn't dare to be careless at all.
Yoshikawa Sadao is not only the nephew of His Majesty the Emperor, but also very influential in the military. Every move he makes will directly affect his future career.
Major Koichi Hahara is solely responsible for the entire security work.
This major, who had been transferred from Nanjing to Shanghai not long ago, showed his talents on the intelligence front. More importantly, he had the backer of Kenji Doihara behind him.
So even though Matsumoto Nitsugi doesn't like Hahara Koichi in many aspects, he still uses this person more seriously.
And there is only one person he trusts most:
Miao Cheng Fang!
On many things, he is more willing to listen to and accept Miao Chengfang's opinions.
This is his confidant.
The person in charge of any organization needs to have his own cronies, his own team, and build his own power.
Matsumoto Nitsugi is no exception.
He also sought Miao Chengfang's opinion on this matter.
Miao Chengfang’s answer is:
"Since it's been left to Koichi Hahara, you don't have to interfere with anything and just leave it to him. Yoshikawa Gomon can leave Shanghai safely, Yoshikawa Sadao will be very grateful to you. And if Yoshikawa Gomon encounters something like this in Shanghai What an accident, then, it is Major Hahara who is responsible for the entire security work, not you, Colonel."
Matsumoto Hitsugu immediately understood what Miao Chengfang meant.
This is wisdom.
Therefore, Matsumoto Nitsuji has never had any involvement in all safety work.
Everything was handled by Hahara Koichi.
Matsumoto Nitsuji didn't even ask.
Yoshikawa Wumen was placed in Chen Lu's home.
This is a very safe place.
It is heavily guarded, and is surrounded by Japanese secret services and Italian military camps on both sides. If any accident occurs, reinforcements can be launched at any time.
However, Chen Lu and his son were not happy.
They received orders that during this period, they must stay at home and are not allowed to go out without authorization. Even going to the yard requires permission.
This made Chen Lu and his son dumbfounded.
Whose home is this?
Why don’t you even have freedom of movement in your own home?
Traitor.
This is the fate of being a traitor.
This is the tragedy of being a traitor.
On the contrary, another traitor living in his own home received an invitation from the Japanese:
Tian Qi!
The fate of traitors and traitors is also different.
From 2 o'clock noon, the chef of Chen Lu's family started to be busy.
All ingredients are purchased personally by Japanese.
Moreover, when the cook was cooking, he was closely monitored by Japanese spies.
Safety work was done to perfection.
Tian Qi placed a deck chair in the yard, and the stool next to it was a teapot.
He swayed leisurely and contentedly, taking out the teapot and taking a sip from time to time.
"Mr. Tian, you are really free."
Major Koichi Hahara walked in.
"Enjoy it, you must enjoy it."
Tian Qi said slowly: "For people like us, God knows when, a bullet will hit our head. If we enjoy it at that time, we will have no chance."
"You are always so sad."
Major Koichi Hahara had someone bring a stool and sat down next to Tian Qi: "You have experienced many assassinations, and you have escaped calmly every time. It is not that easy to kill you."
Tian Qi smiled: "When will Yoshikawa Wumen arrive?"
"About six o'clock, Director Matsumoto will accompany him in person."
Hanbara Koichi frowned: "What I'm worried about is that the news of Yoshikawa Gomon's arrival in Shanghai has been leaked."
"Not already, but definitely."
Tian Qi said coldly.
"Why?"
"I have repeated it many times, this is Shanghai." Tian Qi sighed softly: "Meng Shaoyuan's power cannot be ignored here, and what I can confirm is that once Meng Shaoyuan knows that heavyweights like Yoshikawa Wumen have arrived, What do you think he will do?"
"Assassination!" Koichi Hahara blurted out almost without time to think.
"Yes, assassination." Tian Qi said lightly: "He will try his best to assassinate him. Your Majesty, Major, your task will be very difficult."
"That's why I need your help even more!"
