Major Atsushi Komatsu has been serving in Shanghai for three and a half years, but he has only entered the public settlement once.
The Imperial Holy War has begun and Shanghai has been captured.
Major Atsushi Komatsu originally thought that he could finally have a good tour of Shanghai, but unexpectedly, the task became even heavier.
Especially when Yoshikawa Gomon died in the New Asia Hotel last time, everything was going crazy.
Atsushi Komatsu has been working under a heavy workload for a long time.
I can't get a good rest at all...
…
"General Yasuhide Ituchi will arrive soon."
Matsumoto Jintsugi looked serious: "While we are undergoing investigation, we must also ensure the safety of His Majesty the General. Otherwise, we people will have no choice but to commit suicide."
"Nothing goes wrong this time."
Tanihara Michi also did not dare to take it lightly: "Those involved in the protection work are all transferred from other places. Even if there is a traitor among us, we will not be able to get any information."
"Report."
Kojiro Kawamoto walked in.
"Condition?"
"Miao Chengfang has always stayed at his residence and has not left even half a step. He even asked people to bring him food and drink. It seems that he is not feeling well and is too lazy to move."
"Let me just say that Miao Chengfang is trustworthy." Matsumoto Nitsugi looked very satisfied, and then glanced at Hahara Koichi intentionally or unintentionally:
"Your Excellency Major, Miao Chengfang is someone whom General Fujiwara trusts. I don't think you will doubt the General's vision again and again, right?"
"Ah, yes, I guess I was wrong."
Habara Koichi replied calmly.
…
Twenty-four hours ago.
"Mr. Miao, we have encountered a major setback."
Kojiro Kawamoto specially came to visit Miao Chengfang: "Yoshikawa Gomen was assassinated, which made everyone a target of suspicion. For this reason, the superiors specially sent a special envoy to investigate the matter."
"Yeah?"
Miao Chengfang put down the book in his hand: "I have roughly heard about the death of Yoshikawa Wumen, and it was done by Meng Shaoyuan. This man is omnipresent in Shanghai."
"Yes, so we are also worried about the safety of the special envoy this time..."
special envoy? Name? Position? Purpose? Miao Chengfang quickly began to think.
Kawamoto Kojiro said solemnly: "Your Majesty the Special Envoy must not have any more accidents, otherwise it will be a shame for the Shanghai Secret Service of the Empire of Japan... You know the military commander very well, and you also know Meng Shaoyuan very well..."
My last government status was in the Central Military Commission. Why do I say I know the military commander? Why do you say you know Meng Shaoyuan very well? Unlike Tian Qi, he is not Meng Shaoyuan's subordinate.
Unless the identity is exposed?
No, if his identity was really exposed, he would not be sitting here anymore. Miao Chengfang was very sure of his judgment. If they really want to understand Meng Shaoyuan, they should look for Tian Qi now!
What was his purpose in saying that?
Kawamoto Kojiro continued: "So we urgently need your assistance this time... Mr. Miao, I would like to invite you to participate in the formulation of a plan to protect the special envoy!"
invite me?
I am "Wasp", a senior latent agent, under the direct leadership of Fujiwara Noikawa. When Fujiwara Noikawa is not in China, I cooperate with Colonel Matsumoto Nitsugi.
The one who invited me, Miao Chengfang, should be Colonel Matsumoto Nitsugi, not you Kawamoto Kojiro!
Miao Chengfang asked smoothly: "How should I help you?"
"Your Excellency, the special envoy, will arrive in Shanghai by train at 11 noon tomorrow, and will be escorted into the public concession..."
wrong.
If you come by train, you should immediately enter the Japanese Hongkou Naval Base or the New Asia Hotel as soon as you get off the train.
Firstly, safety, secondly, Yoshikawa Gomon died in the New Asia Hotel.
Of course, we do not rule out the possibility of directly entering the public concession and summoning Japanese spies from the land and sea departments. The consulate is also safe.
"The route is like this..."
Kawamoto Kojiro took out a hand-drawn map: "We have prepared two route maps for entering the public concession and arriving at the consulate..."
Miao Chengfang listened very carefully.
You clearly told me the time of arrival of the special envoy. Now, you even told me such a detailed route map?
This is unreasonable.
Why do you trust me so much?
Why do you know so much detail?
Where is Matsumoto Nitsugi?
Did Matsumoto Nitsugi ask you to do this?
Still not right!
Both routes have a problem.
There is a place where the surrounding conditions are relatively complex, suitable for ambush, but not suitable for defense.
If there is a blockage on both sides, the motorcade will be a turtle in a jar.
On the first route, when approaching Binlang Road, you can obviously turn to Macao Road, so why do you have to enter Shunbao Alley?
Just to get into the consulate faster? Can't afford to waste even a few minutes?
Shunbao Lane is a good ambush spot!
The second route also has this problem.
He planned such a route... and told himself the exact time of the envoy's arrival...
There is only one possibility!
The Japanese did this on purpose!
They are testing themselves!
Miao Chengfang looked up from the map: "Mr. Kawamoto, I think both routes are dangerous. For example, this place can easily become an ambush point..."
…
"The suspicions of Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi can be removed."
Matsumoto Nitsugi looked very satisfied: "Of course, it is not appropriate for the Chinese to participate in such an important task as welcoming the General. If the intelligence is leaked again this time, then the problem will be among us..."
Miao Chengfang really didn't dislike it?
At least that's true for now.
Hahara Koichi was a little absent-minded.
Just like Kawamoto Kojiro didn't trust Tian Qi, he also had doubts about Miao Chengfang.
But now it seems that this worry is unnecessary.
So, how did the past information leak out?
Assumption.
Kojiro Kawamoto must make an assumption.
Assume that Tian Qi and Miao Chengfang are actually Chinese spies, but they are hidden very deeply and have not been exposed.
This is what happens:
He thinks that Tian Qi is trustworthy, and Kawamoto Kojiro thinks that Miao Chengfang is trustworthy, so in the trial, it is natural to consider the problem from his own standpoint.
From the beginning, he had already ruled out the suspicion of Tian Qi in his heart, and Kawamoto Kojiro also instinctively ruled out the suspicion of Miao Chengfang.
Therefore, the investigation of the two people was carried out casually, and some even did it with the mentality of waiting to see the other person's show, hoping that the other person's point of view was wrong.
This mentality is wrong and even fatal.
I trust Tian Qi because he is the savior of Sakurai Agent Team, and everything about him was introduced by Sakurai Kimura.
Kawamoto Kojiro trusted Nao Chengfang because he was a senior undercover agent of General Fujiwara Kikawa.
But do you really understand these two people?
Why did Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi rebel at the same time?
How did Miao Chengfang get together with Tian Qi and convince him?
I was transferred to Shanghai not long ago and knew nothing about it.
The repeated assassinations of Tian Qi almost killed him?
If he was a high-level latent spy, his identity would only be known to a few senior military officials, and the spies at the middle and lower levels would have no way of knowing.
Their first thought about Tian Qi was to kill him.
Then everything will fall into place.
Hahara Koichi especially hopes that these assumptions of his are wrong.
At least, he performed very well in testing Tian Qi.
He gave away no information.
If his judgment is wrong and Tian Qi removes some suspicions, then this person is undoubtedly his best ally.
The Shanghai secret service is too complicated, with many factions and constant struggles.
If an outsider like Hahara Koichi wants to gain a foothold here and gain real rights, a strong alliance is essential.
Tian Qi can satisfy all of this.
I hope you will not disappoint my expectations, Mr. Tian!
…
"Brother Meng."
"Why are you so anxious to find me? What's the important thing?"
"I..." Hua'er's eyes were filled with tears: "I...I'm pregnant?"
"Hua'er...yes..."
"Tian Qi's, Tian Qi's."
Hua'er murmured: "It belongs to that beast. I don't want it, Brother Meng, I don't want this child, I don't want it!"
"Listen to me, Flower."
Meng Shaoyuan knew it was time to use his professional knowledge: "Tian Qi is a beast, but the child is not at fault. He was born in you and is already a part of you. Hua'er, listen to me, give birth to the child, and give birth to the child." He has been brought up, and at least you have the thought to tell him what a shameful person his father is!"
His father is shameless.
His father is a great hero.
Meng Shaoyuan said this over and over again in his heart.
"Brother Meng, I listen to you."
Hua'er whispered.
Now, Meng Shaoyuan has become her only support.
"After your injury is healed, I'll take you to Chongqing."
"I know, Brother Meng."
…
"Director Meng, your clothes and car are ready."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded and put away the gun:
"Operation Nanny has officially begun!"
…
Big Shanghai is full of weird things.
The war did not seem to cause any damage to the public settlement.
A large advertisement hung there, saying that the famous "Paramount" dance hall had several new dark-skinned dancers.
These dancers are generous and enthusiastic, and can also dance to make men ecstasy.
"Sir, are the rickshaws going to be cut down?"
Major Atsushi Komatsu smiled and shook his head.
I came by myself because I wanted to take advantage of this short opportunity to appreciate the style of Shanghai.
"boss."
A fat middle-aged woman grabbed Atsushi Komatsu, which shocked him and thought he was exposed.
"Boss, I have a girl from Suzhou. She is very beautiful. She is only 18 years old. Boss, are you going to see me?"
Komatsu Atsushi still shook his head.
A young man in a suit came to him: "Sir, how to get to Jing'an Temple?"
This is the connection code!
Komatsu Atsushi immediately replied: "I am also from another place and I don't know him."
"Where are you from, sir?"
"Changshu."
The young man looked around: "Major Atsushi Komatsu?"
"Yes, it's me."
"I am Second Lieutenant Hideki Inana!"
