The several ashtrays on the table were filled with cigarette butts.
The three military leaders of Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan, Zhou Weilong, and Cheng Yiming, smoked cigarettes one after another. Even Cheng Yiming, who was not a big smoker in the first place, had smoked almost half a pack of cigarettes.
This has never happened in the history of military unification.
The Big Three were assassinated almost simultaneously overnight.
During the day, I sent someone to take a look. The place where the three "Mr. Gong" agreed to meet was piled with explosives and grenades that were too late to be evacuated.
Cold sweat broke out all over his head.
If Meng Shaoyuan hadn't discovered it in time, the three of them would have been reduced to pieces by now.
"This thing is too scary." Zhou Weilong put out a cigarette butt and then lit another cigarette for himself: "The planning was so sophisticated that our entire army was almost wiped out. We must carefully consider how we should act in the next step. "
Cheng Yiming said: "First, report to Director Dai immediately. Second, launch a comprehensive retaliation operation in Shanghai."
"I agree too." Meng Shaoyuan said, "How do you report to Director Dai?"
Cheng Yiming had no time to think: "It's very simple. Mr. Gong is a spy planted by the Japanese within the military command, and he carefully planned this assassination incident in Shanghai."
"Well, this is a report that should be based on facts." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "A senior Japanese spy has been lurking within our military command for a long time. This time he served as the inspector and was personally appointed by Director Dai."
Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were both veteran officials, and they immediately understood the meaning of these words.
It is precisely because of this willingness that Dai Li personally appointed the inspectors, and no one suspected Mr. Gong's true identity. But he almost caused the military commander to suffer heavy losses.
Who will bear this responsibility?
Dai Li?
"Brother Meng has thought carefully." Zhou Weilong nodded slightly: "Young people are terrible. We have been officials for so many years in vain. Brother Meng, how do you want to report?"
Meng Shaoyuan had already thought about it: "After Mr. Gong arrived in Hong Kong, he was attracted by the Japanese and rebelled against the organization. We subsequently conducted a raid on Mr. Gong's residence and found a large number of letters between him and the Japanese."
"The letters are not good." Zhou Weilong said quickly: "The large number of letters in and out shows that he has colluded with the Japanese for a long time. Well, diary, we found a diary left by Mr. Gong when he escaped, which recorded in detail How did you get bribed by the Japanese gradually? Secretary Cheng, you have Lao Du under you, who is very good at this, right?"
"That's right, I asked Lao Du to forge the diary, but Mr. Gong's handwriting is difficult to do."
"I have it there." Zhou Weilong said immediately: "When the inspector arrives, he needs to register. Mr. Gong signs it, and I will have someone bring it to you in a moment."
"It's easy if you have handwriting. It can be done in two or three days." Cheng Yiming frowned: "How can we solve the problem of his real name Yanagawa?"
"There is no real name." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "He was determined to be a traitor, so he changed himself to a Japanese name."
"What about assassinating Tahara Kota?" Cheng Yiming continued to ask.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "The person who bribed Mr. Gong was Tahara Kota. After we found out, we immediately launched an assassination attempt on Tahara Kota and achieved great success."
A counterfeiting plan was thus formulated.
There are many flaws in it, and if you think about it carefully, you can find the problem, but even if someone finds that there is a problem, no one dares to speak out.
To question the authenticity of this report is to question Dai Li's employment.
Who dares to question Dai Li?
So all these are Mr. Gong's personal reasons and have nothing to do with Dai Li.
As for the military-controlled Shanghai latent area?
District Mayor Zhou Weilong, Secretary Cheng Yiming, and Director of the Special Office Meng Shaoyuan teamed up to discover Mr. Gong's rebellion plot in time and successfully assassinated Japan's strongest killer Kota Tahara.
No fault, merit!
And the credit is great!
A leader can never make mistakes. Mistakes are only a problem of the people below.
If a big mistake is made, the people below must find ways to make amends.
If it is really irreparable, we must have the courage to help the leader take responsibility.
You may feel wronged for a while, but your leader will definitely repay you in the future.
Everyone in the three military leaders understands this truth.
So even though they were full of contradictions before, now the contradictions have been temporarily abandoned.
They briefly became comrades in the trenches!
"This matter is settled. I will personally send electricity to Director Dai." Zhou Weilong took a few puffs of cigarette and said: "Of course, the Shanghai latent area of our military command must also bear the responsibility for lax supervision in this matter. As the district chief, You can’t run away, I personally request for punishment.”
"You district chief can't run away, how can I, the secretary, run away?" Cheng Yiming said with a smile: "If you add me, I will ask for punishment myself."
This is not asking for punishment. It is basically asking for merit.
People like Dai Li will immediately understand after seeing this telegram that Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming helped him shoulder all the responsibilities, and they will be rewarded in the future.
Meng Shaoyuan did not argue with them: "As for launching a comprehensive retaliation in Shanghai, I think it will be postponed. District Chief Zhou, Secretary Cheng, and Mr. Gong will be dealt with by me."
Originally, Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming were very satisfied with Meng Shaoyuan not taking credit from them. Now that he has taken the initiative to take on the task of dealing with Mr. Gong, it is even more desirable.
Mr. Gong is a hot potato. If he is not handled properly, he will cause endless trouble.
"Brother Meng, it will be your fault." Zhou Weilong looked particularly polite at this time: "If you need any help, just ask, Secretary Cheng and I have no excuses."
assist?
Then forget it.
The three giants appear to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact they are full of conflicts privately. If it hadn't been for Mr. Gong's incident this time, the three of them would not be sitting together at all.
…
"What went wrong?"
Yanagawa muttered to himself.
He carefully reviewed every step of his plan to confirm that it was absolutely foolproof.
If something was really exposed, the military commander would have arrested him during lunch yesterday.
where is the problem?
Yanagawa couldn't understand.
It's a pity to lose such a good opportunity.
This may be the only and best opportunity.
"Your Excellency Yanagawa, we have brought everyone back."
Yanagawa cheered up: "Is there any loss?"
"There were no losses. Except for the Shiqiao Lane we were responsible for, the other two places, each with one detonator and two gunmen, all returned safely. Including the nine people we evacuated from Shiqiao Lane yesterday, all of them are here. .”
Yanagawa looked at the people who had just withdrawn: "Are you all Kouta Tahara's subordinates?"
"Yes!"
"May I have your name?"
"Sir, I am Gao Cheng Yingchang!"
"Gaocheng-kun, repeat your mission."
"Hai!"
Takagi Yingmao stood up straight: "We came to Shanghai under the order of His Excellency Tahara, followed the command of His Excellency Yanagawa, detonated explosives and killed the enemy's senior figures."
"Do you know you will die too?"
"I know! Mr. Tahara has clearly explained the mission to us. For His Majesty the Emperor, we are always ready to be loyal! I took the initiative to serve as the detonator!"
"A true warrior of the Empire!" Yanagawa couldn't help but admire: "Now, I can tell you something you didn't know before. Tahara Kouta, his real name is Asada Kengawa!"
Several people were startled. They had followed "His Excellency Tahara Kouta" for so many years, and this was the first time they knew that he was not called by that name.
"In order to complete his mission, he has been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."
"What? Tahara... no, Mr. Asada is loyal to you?"
"Calm down." Yanagawa's voice was calm: "The ones who killed him were the so-called Big Three of the Chinese military in Shanghai. Remember their names, Zhou Weilong, Cheng Yiming, and a man named...Meng Shaoyuan! Remember it firmly and never forget it. ! We must avenge Asada-kun! Now, I will tell you who I am!"
He said word by word: "I am Mr. Gong."
Gao Cheng Yingchang and others were shocked for a moment.
Mr. Gong?
He turned out to be Mr. Gong?
Mr. Gong, Asada-kun’s arch-rival?
Gao Cheng Yingchang asked carefully: "Then your true identity is..."
"I am a senior latent spy of the empire. My real name is Yanagawa Yasunjun." Yanagawa said slowly: "I was ordered to lurk inside the enemy. Nearly nine years have passed. During this long period of time, Asada has not only been my most important A good friend and my best partner. I am the one who suffers the most from his death for the country."
"Please have my condolences, Mr. Yanagawa." Takagi Hidemasa comforted: "You are the true unsung hero of the empire! I believe that Mr. Asada's spirit in heaven will definitely bless you."
"It's to protect the entire Japanese Empire!" Yanagawa Yasunumi put away his sadness: "This time Asada-kun and I set up this plan to eradicate the three Shanghai giants of China's military domination in one fell swoop. The first time, when I asked Meng Shaoyuan to meet , I found that this person was very well-guarded, and I had already sent someone to check the pickles carefully. It was difficult for me to get a chance to make a move. Moreover, my goal was to kill the Big Three in one fell swoop, so I started to proceed step by step according to the plan. .
Unfortunately, the success fell short in the end. But it doesn't matter. This shows that Meng Shaoyuan, the so-called China's "most powerful agent on the surface," is not invulnerable. He can still be fooled.
This assassination failed, and my identity has been exposed. I decided to stay in Shanghai, with the goal of assassinating Meng Shaoyuan and the top military officials, to comfort Mr. Asada's spirit in heaven! And I need your help! "
"We all came to Shanghai with a death wish and were willing to die to follow Mr. Yanagawa!" Takagi Yingchang then asked: "Sir Yanagawa, why don't you notify our agency in Shanghai to assist?"
Yasumi Yanagawa sneered: "I knew when I was in Hong Kong that there was a traitor in our organization in Shanghai. I don't believe them! The only people I can trust are you!"
Gao Cheng Yingchang said with emotion: "From today on, Gao Cheng Yingchang is dead!"
"From today on, we are dead, swearing to kill Meng Shaoyuan, swearing to eliminate the army, die together, and never look back!"
Meng Shaoyuan is in big trouble, big, big trouble!
