Tian Qi saw Miao Chengfang, and Miao Chengfang also saw Tian Qi.
The two people nodded to each other as a greeting.
But no one could know that just such an action filled each other's hearts with warmth.
Loneliness, loneliness, fear...
This is a mentality common to all sleeper agents.
Being able to see one of my comrades here is a feeling that only I can know.
And this eye contact contains too many things.
You are still alive, you are still alive...
The Japanese trust you and your progress is relatively smooth...
Live well and wait until the day when the Anti-Japanese War is won...
People like Matsumoto Nitsugi and Hahara Koichi have already arrived.
When he saw the Japanese man protected by several bodyguards appearing in the yard, Matsumoto Nitsugi quickly led his men to greet him:
"Your Excellency Yoshikawa, it's been a hard journey!"
Yoshikawa Gomen!
"Matsumoto-dono, I'm causing you trouble."
Yoshikawa Gomon bowed deeply...
…
This was a banquet carefully prepared by Matsumoto Nitsugi.
He inquired about the living habits of Yoshikawa Gomon. This important figure from North China wanted to eat Chinese dishes even more.
In his words, since everyone is currently in China, they must adapt to the culture of this place and deeply integrate themselves into it.
It is said that he usually uses Chinese as much as possible when communicating with his subordinates.
"You have to try hard to forget your identity as a Japanese..." Yoshikawa Gomon smiled: "When you walk on the street, no one will treat you as a foreigner. During the Spring Festival this year, I also completely treated you as a Chinese. custom."
Habara Koichi immediately admired him.
What the empire lacks is such intelligence personnel.
Yoshikawa Gomon's eyes happened to fall on him: "Hahara-kun, I know Lord Doihara and he has mentioned you as an outstanding subordinate to me many times. What do you think of this?"
"Thank you for the compliment, General." Hanbara Koichi sat there and bowed slightly: "I completely agree with your view. I was transferred from North China to Nanjing, and then from Nanjing to Shanghai. I found that many of our intelligence personnel are always Maintaining a strange mentality, they believed that Shanghai and Nanjing were all occupied by us, and the empire had already won.
Therefore, they are arrogant and arrogant, and they regard themselves as conquerors everywhere. I have absolutely no idea where this mentality comes from? Victory on the battlefield and conquest in the true sense are completely two different concepts. Chinese agents are still active there and have dealt us a heavy blow. Victory? We are still far from victory.
For example, in Shanghai, the public concession is still not in our hands, and any activities we do here will be restricted by the Ministry of Industry. In Shanghai, we have experienced too many failures and setbacks and lost too many outstanding people. On the contrary, the military commanders are extremely active here, and the threat they bring to us far exceeds the threat we bring to them. "
Matsumoto Nitsuji was a little dissatisfied.
This is a blatant accusation that Shanghai's intelligence work has not been done well.
However, Yoshikawa Gomon looked very satisfied: "Habara-kun's words are thought-provoking. His loyal words are hard to hear. Our cultivation of North China far exceeds that here, but we still cannot quell the enemy's ambitions."
"Yes." Hanbara Koichi said: "So we should put down the attitude of victors, learn from them, and integrate with them. We can even regard ourselves as enemies."
"Oh, what does this mean?" Yoshikawa Gomon suddenly became interested.
Hanbara Koichi said calmly: "It's very simple. Put yourself in the enemy's position and consider what they will do. Please allow me to make a wild metaphor. If someone wants to assassinate Mr. Yoshikawa now, then I will carefully think like an enemy. Consider how to kill you most effectively..."
"presumptuous!"
Matsumoto Nitsugi's expression suddenly darkened.
"No, Matsumoto-kun." Yoshikawa Gomon was very interested: "Please let him continue."
Matsumoto Nitsuji was really dissatisfied.
Saying that you want to assassinate a person in front of him is too much.
And this person is Mr. Yoshikawa.
Hahara Koichi said calmly: "In Shanghai, there are the so-called three giants who rule Shanghai by military forces. Among them, Meng Shaoyuan is our biggest enemy. I think now that he has learned about the opportunity for Lord Yoshikawa to arrive in Shanghai, he will never give up Given this opportunity, he will try every means to make a commotion, even a big one. Now, if I were Meng Shaoyuan, what would I do? I must know all the whereabouts of Lord Yoshikawa in order to find the loopholes..."
"Please wait a moment." Yoshikawa Gomon suddenly interrupted him: "In order to better integrate you, please don't call me your Excellency. Just call me Yoshikawa Gomon."
"Okay, Yoshikawa Gomon." Koichi Hahara called out without hesitation.
That's ridiculous.
This was the thought that came to Matsumoto Hitsugu's mind.
How can there be no boundaries between superiors and subordinates?
Mr. Yoshikawa may be polite, but Koichi Hahara is too courageous.
At this time, Tian Qi and Miao Chengfang had completely different thoughts.
Hahara Koichi is a dangerous person, and Yoshikawa Gomon is also a dangerous person.
If a person can put down his dignity and arrogance and consider the problem from the enemy's standpoint...
Now not only is there one, but there are two more.
Hahara Koichi said slowly: "Currently, only a few people know all about Yoshikawa in Shanghai, and it can even be said that they are all present. Then can we imagine the other way around, if Meng Shaoyuan masters Yoshikawa's entire whereabouts? There were even targeted assassinations. Is the traitor among us?"
Tian Qi and Miao Chengfang looked as if nothing had happened...
But……
They all received orders from Meng Shaoyuan and tried every means to figure out Yoshikawa Wumen's whereabouts in Shanghai, and looked for opportunities to assassinate him. At the very least, they could not let him leave Shanghai peacefully.
However, now Koichi Hahara has come up with such an idea.
"I suggest." Koichi Hahara's expression suddenly became solemn: "It is absolutely impossible to keep it completely confidential, but to ensure Yoshikawa's safety in Shanghai, we cannot do without everyone here. So from this minute From now on, we will jointly participate in the arrangements for all Yoshikawa's trips. If the enemy takes control, then there must be a traitor among us!"
Having said this, he glanced at Miao Chengfang as if nothing had happened.
Miao Chengfang knew very well that Koichi Hahara had already suspected him.
The only two Chinese here are Tian Qi and Miao Chengfang, and they are the most likely to become traitors.
Relatively speaking, Hahara Koichi still trusts Tian Qi.
Where is Miao Chengfang?
"There is a problem here." Kawamoto Kojiro said: "Anyone may leak information. Those who stand guard at the door are responsible for security. Why must the scope be limited to ours?"
"Of course I know this." Hanbara Koichi said calmly: "But tomorrow Yoshikawa will go to the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, and the day after tomorrow he will go to Japan's Hongkou Naval Base. This is top secret. Apart from Yoshikawa himself, only Matsumoto knows Your Excellency, the agency director and I, even those bodyguards don’t know the specific whereabouts. But now everyone here already knows.”
"You are crazy, Koichi Hahara." Matsumoto Nitsugi was a little angry: "You have already said that this is top secret! If the traitor is here according to what you said, then you are putting Lord Yoshikawa in danger!"
sharp.
Tian Qi sighed inwardly.
Hanbara Hikaru gave a complete account of Yoshikawa Gomon's whereabouts over the past two days.
what would you do?
Assassination?
There were many guards around Yoshikawa Gomon, making it even more difficult to assassinate him.
But once the assassination really happens, there is no doubt that he and Miao Chengfang will become the biggest suspects.
The hidden danger of the traitor will be extracted.
Neither he nor Miao Chengfang will be able to gain the trust of the Japanese anymore, and may even "disappear" secretly.
From Meng Shaoyuan's standpoint, he must also know this.
Instead of carrying out an assassination with no guarantee of success and risking exposing himself as an undercover agent, he would wisely choose to give up.
This also indirectly protected Yoshikawa Gomen.
"There is no need to be angry, Your Excellency, Mr. Agency Chief." Yoshikawa Gomon looked very calm: "Let me translate what Hahara-kun means. Mr. Miao Chengfang and Mr. Tian Qi are Chinese, and Mr. Miao is the most trusted by General Fujiwara. As for the Chinese, Mr. Tian was introduced by Mr. Miao. Of course, there is no problem with their loyalty.
It is for this reason that Mr. Hahara can calmly tell all my whereabouts in front of two Chinese people, because he trusts Mr. Miao and Mr. Tian and knows that they will never be traitors and will never betray this important information. of. Mr. Miao, Mr. Tian, do you think this is what it means? "
Miao Chengfang smiled lightly.
Tian Qi also said expressionlessly: "It is really difficult for a traitor to gain trust. I would rather not regard this time as a trust, but as a test. If Mr. Yoshikawa's whereabouts are exposed , there is no doubt that the spy is either me or Mr. Miao, the two of us cannot escape suspicion."
"Mr. Tian is serious." Koichi Hahara said: "Mr. Tian is the Imperial Eagle Dog, and Mr. Miao is a close confidant of General Fujiwara. I have never doubted the loyalty of the two of them. Regarding Shanghai and my understanding of Meng Shaoyuan, No one among us can compare to you, so you two should worry more about Yoshikawa-dono's safety in Shanghai."
"Okay, okay." Probably in order to resolve this embarrassment, Yoshikawa Gomen said with a smile: "I heard that you prepared a program specifically for me and asked Chen Lu to find a red star in Shanghai, right?"
"Yes." Kawamoto Kojiro said immediately: "I will let her in right now."
When the "Red Star" from Shanghai was brought in, Tian Qi's heart immediately sank.
flower!
Shao Mengyin!
It's over.
As long as Hua'er walks into this place tonight and under this situation, she won't want to leave again!
