Colonel Tanishihara Michichi, head of the Japanese Navy’s secret service stationed in Shanghai.
Head of the "Shanghai Research Office".
One of Japan's "Three Imperial Tigers"!
The main source of intelligence for the Japanese Navy in Shanghai.
But now, he and Miao Chengfang stood together.
He stood right in front of Meng Shaoyuan!
"Colonel Tanishihara, why is it you?"
Why you?
One of the "Chinese Four"?
How could it be you?
A powerful spy?
"Why can't it be me?" Gu Fanyuandao asked.
Yeah, why can't it be him?
Liao Yuting can be a spy, why can't Gu Fanyuandao be?
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly bowed deeply to him: "Thank you."
Thank you!
Thank you for your efforts over the years, and thank you for the grievances you have suffered over the years.
Thank you!
"There's nothing to thank you for." Gu Fanyuandao said calmly: "I'm not doing anything for you, so you don't have to thank me at all."
"Sit down and talk."
Under the dim light, Miao Chengfang asked them to sit down.
Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Should I call you Gu Fanyuan, or should I call you Liu Bingyin?"
"Gu Fanyuandao." Gu Fanyuandao said calmly: "After so many years, I seem to have forgotten the name Liu Bingyin. Gu Fanyuandao sounds much more friendly."
Yes, when a person uses an identity that does not belong to him for a long time, as time goes by, he will become more and more accustomed to it, and even think that he is this person most of the time.
"You have many questions, and I can answer them one by one." Tanishihara said calmly: "You already know what happened before, and there is no need to repeat it to you again. I heard Lao Miao say that Nagasaka Hiromichi actually He is also one of ours. I have heard the name Nagasaka Hiromichi, but I have never seen him. As long as I see him once, I will recognize him as one of ours.
After I arrived in Japan, the first thing I thought of was how to lurk and find a Japanese identity for myself. And no one will suspect it. I found an old drunkard named Toshio Tanishige, who was alone with no relatives or friends. He has a weird temper and no one wants to associate with him. This is exactly the kind of person I need.
I gave him a sum of money and asked him to tell others that I was the offspring of his absurd youth, his illegitimate son, and now that my mother is dead, I have come to seek refuge with him. When the old drunkard saw the money, he agreed immediately. When the old drunkard saw the money, he didn't ask anything and let me stay there. From that time on, I had the name Tanishihara Michichi. "
At that time, the ordinary class in Japan lived in poverty, and everyone was worried about how to survive. No one cares that a cranky old drunk suddenly has a son in his family.
Yuandao Tani worked hard to find a job with a low salary. He used his pitiful salary to support the old drunkard. Sometimes he would rather go hungry himself to ensure that the old drunkard had alcohol to drink.
When Toshio Tanishiro drank too much, he would always scold him loudly and beat him, but Tanishihara Toshio would always be obedient, silent, and try his best to serve him.
However, the door of Tanishiro's house is always opened inadvertently, so that people passing by can see how Toshio Tanishiro treats his "son".
All the neighbors saw this with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears.
They had never had any doubt about Tanishihara's identity. Who would pretend to be the son of an alcoholic who was poor and had nothing but drinking?
On the contrary, they were full of deep sympathy for Tanishihara Michio's experience.
Why would such a good child, such a filial child, have such a father? It's a pity that I am still too busy to take care of myself and there is no way to help him.
"I lived like this for a whole year."
Gu Fanyuan said it very calmly, but Meng Shaoyuan could not imagine how an elite agent could spend a year in such an environment.
That was simply humiliating.
"Tanishige Toshio's health is very bad, I can tell." Tanishihara said coldly: "So every morning, I give him a lot of low-quality wine, and let him drink it from morning to night, without even a moment. Sober. In this way, he stays at home drinking all day without contact with outsiders, and my identity will not be exposed. Another point is that a person who is not in good health drinks a lot of alcohol all day long, He will collapse soon.
In the past, Tanishige Toshio could barely survive without having the money to buy so much alcohol, but suddenly he had money, and if he drank like this, his body would soon be destroyed. One night a year later, I remember clearly that around 8pm, Toshio Tanishige suddenly fell on the table while he was drinking, drooling from his mouth. "
Meng Shaoyuan knew that this was a cerebral hemorrhage caused by heavy drinking for a long time.
"I knew he had a stroke." A smile flashed at the corner of Gu Shigendao's mouth: "I just kept looking at him without doing anything. When it was almost dawn, there was a pool of his saliva on the table. and vomit. Then I carried him on the tatami, covered him with a quilt, cleared the table, and rested for half an hour."
After dawn, Michio Tanihara knocked on the neighbor's door with a "horrified" look on his face, saying that his father was sick.
The neighbor sympathized with him and quickly found a doctor for him. The doctor examined him and told him that Tanishige Toshio could not be saved. Even if he managed to save him, it would probably not be possible to save him, and it would also cost a lot of money.
Gu Fanyuandao cried loudly in public, saying that even if he sold himself, he must save his father.
The neighbors were trying to persuade this kind-hearted young man. Including a local man named Ajing Shou.
This Aijing Shou owned five fishing boats and hired people to go fishing. He was considered rich in the local area. Michio Tanashigen usually worked for him.
Ajing Shou had three daughters, the youngest of whom was lame and ugly, and had never been able to get married.
When Gu Shimohara came to work for him, Ajing Shou fell in love with this young man who was hard-working, hard-working, and very filial.
He had the idea of marrying his daughter to him.
It's just that he was afraid of being rejected outright, but now it was a perfect opportunity.
After the neighbors left, Ai Shou stayed alone and told Tanishihara that he was willing to try his best to help take care of Tanishige Toshio and be responsible for everything after his death.
The condition is that Tanishihara Michichi marries his daughter Atsuko Ai. He also promised him that he would not need to consider all the expenses of the marriage, and would give them a separate house instead of living in this smelly, shabby and small place.
This is exactly what Tanishihara wants to see, to add another layer of insurance to his identity.
Therefore, as a "filial son", for the sake of his father, he agreed without any hesitation.
Toshio Tanishiro survived until the next day and died. In front of the old drunkard's body, Tanishishi Yuandao kowtowed desperately, and blood came out from his forehead when he knelt.
This also made Ajing Shou feel lucky that he had not misjudged the person.
After Toshio Tanishige was buried, the customs in many places in China and Japan were similar. There, people could not get married within three years.
In order to win over his future son-in-law, Ajingshou gave him a spacious house in advance and also proposed to give him a fishing boat so that he would no longer have to worry about life in the future.
But Tani Shigehara put forward his own idea. He wanted to apply for the Army Sergeant School.
After acting in so many dramas and being a dutiful son for more than a year, Tanishihara can now follow his own plan step by step.
It could be seen that Ai Shou still had some hesitation, and Tani Shigehara vowed that even if he could pass the exam, he would definitely marry Ai Atsuko in three years, and he would never be ungrateful.
Ajingshou agreed to help him. I just suggested to him not to apply for the Japanese Army Military Academy in Kyoto, but to apply for the Etajima Naval Academy, which is closer to here.
In addition to the consideration of distance, there is also a relative of the Ai family serving as an instructor at the Etajima Naval Academy, who can also take better care of Michio Tanishihara.
She said she was taking care of him, but actually she was supervising him, for fear that he would regret the marriage in the future.
Gu Fanyuan Road agreed.
With the funding and arrangements of Hisashi Aoi, and the fact that Michio Tanishigehara was originally trained as an elite agent, he successfully entered the Etajima Naval War School.
"The oldest person recruited by the Etajima Naval Academy cannot be over 19 years old, but I was already 25 years old at that time." Michio Tanishihara smiled sarcastically: "I have to thank Hisashi Ai for helping me find a way to change my age. , my actual age was reduced by 5 years, and after passing the guarantee, and my test scores and physical fitness were excellent, I was admitted as an overage student with special talents.
Although I have a special mission, after entering the Etajima Naval War School, my eyes were opened immediately. I finally understood why Japan, a small country, surpassed China in strength. Why has China repeatedly lost to Japan? Why did a country that was originally poor suddenly have a rapid improvement in naval strength? Not only the ships, but more importantly, the "Etajima Spirit" of the Japanese Navy. This is what makes them a naval power. "
Etajima spirit:
The outstanding ones among Japan's young people are selected to receive the most harsh and arduous training in the world. After their physical and mental training that only the very tenacious can withstand, they are trained to become modern naval officers with ancient samurai ethics. Therefore, young people who graduate from the Naval War School not only have a body that can withstand all hardships, but also an indomitable spirit. For the sake of the emperor and the motherland, they are willing to die.
"I work very hard. In addition to the fact that I have to complete the task, I also want to learn the Japanese spirit." Tanishihara said very seriously: "Maybe one day I can return to my motherland and no longer use Tanishihara. name, I will tell the Chinese Navy everything I have learned without reservation, so that they can become as powerful as the Japanese Navy!"
Speaking of this, he was a little lost in thought:
"You all don't know that during those nights, I dreamed that China had an extremely powerful navy!"
