The whole of Shanghai is currently experiencing a strange silence.
Since Liao Yuting was arrested, it seems that both sides have stopped large-scale conflicts in unison. In the occasional sporadic incidents, both sides have also maintained great restraint.
In fact, few people know that the military-controlled Shanghai latent area has just experienced a huge crisis.
Silence is just the calm before the storm.
Maybe when you open your eyes tomorrow, Shanghai will fall into chaos again.
The Japanese secret service stationed in Shanghai did not dare to tamper with it.
Especially after the arrival of Hiroshi Miyomichi.
This Japanese agent known as "Elite Hiroshi" has appeared as a savior from the first day he arrived in Shanghai.
When he was in North China, he had heard that the Japanese secret service had repeatedly encountered obstacles in Shanghai and suffered heavy losses, which made Hiroshi Miyomichi disapproving.
China's agents are not that strong at all, it's just that their own people are incompetent.
During his time in Shanghai, he discovered that General Itauchi Yasuhide, whom he relied on as his biggest backer, was actually not that particularly reliable.
Hahara Koichi was also particularly uncooperative with him, especially on the issue of Liao Yuting.
For Shanghai, Gongdao Hongshi was born in a distant place. He needed a reliable ally, but when it came to choosing an ally, he didn't have much choice.
So under such circumstances, Miyomichi Hiroshi chose a somewhat unexpected ally:
Aya Akagi!
Chiyuki Akagi's wife.
Miyomichi Hiroshi knew very well that this woman was not the best choice, but it was his only choice.
Although Chiyuki Akagi is dead, he still has a certain influence, especially in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In addition, Aya Akagi had a deep hatred for the military commander, especially for the man named Meng Shaoyuan, and she was thinking about how to take revenge.
But neither the army nor the navy's secret service was prepared to help her.
This left her fighting alone.
And what she was thinking about was how to avenge her husband.
So when Hiroshi Miyamichi found her and told her his purpose, Aisa Akagi agreed without any hesitation.
Both sides have their needs.
Aya Akagi now also knows that there is no way to avenge her husband by herself.
She also needs an ally.
In her opinion, Miyomichi Hiroshi is the most suitable one.
"I have been in Shanghai for a while." Aya Akagi said calmly: "I have a certain understanding of this city, and I believe I can provide some help to Gongdao-kun."
"I heard that Madam did not hesitate to sell all her property in Japan in order to avenge Akagi-dono, which I deeply admire." Hiroshi Miyamichi said very politely: "The people who killed Akagi-dono were those of the military commander. I promise that within my capabilities, I will do my best to avenge Mr. Akagi."
"Thank you, Miyamichi-kun." Akagi Ayako bowed slightly: "I know that you came to Shanghai to do a big business. But if you want to achieve something in Shanghai, there is one thing you must do. Indispensable.”
"Please advise."
"right."
Akagi Ayako is not an idiot. She keenly captured the reason why Miyamichi Hiroshi formed an alliance with her.
"Yes, right." Gongmichi Hiroshi did not deny: "To carry out my revenge and completely change the situation in Shanghai, I need great support. However, there are many problems in Shanghai."
"For example, factional issues." Akagi Ayako continued for him: "In Shanghai, the Army, Navy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not to mention those civilian organizations, there are all kinds of them, they all work on their own, and they value their own rights and territory more than anything else. They all have to be serious. Once anyone touches their rights, they will turn into a mad dog and bite you with all their strength, regardless of whether you are one of their own."
"Your metaphor is very vivid." A smile appeared on Gongdao Hiroshi's face: "I have also considered this aspect, but I am an outsider, and it would be too difficult to quickly control the situation."
"You must first get the support of General Ituchi."
"You also know General Ituchi?"
Hiroshi Miyamichi was still a little curious. Although it was not a particularly big secret that Yasuhide Itanachi was in Shanghai, how could a woman like Ayako Akagi know about it?
"Not only do I know General Ituchi, but I also know many things you don't know."
"for example?"
"For example, what is Koichi Hahara busy with right now?"
Miyomichi Hiroshi's eyebrows twitched.
Koichi Hahara.
Hiroshi Miyamichi has regarded Koichi Hahara as his biggest competitor at this stage.
"Do you know Mr. Gong?" Akagi Ayako suddenly asked.
"Mr. Gong?"
"Yes, Mr. Gong." Akagi Ayako said slowly: "Mr. Gong is from Hong Kong, and he should have a special mission in Shanghai. In order to hunt him down, Tahara Kota, known as 'Japan's strongest killer', has also arrived in Hong Kong. , and it is very likely that he was assassinated by the military commander. At present, Hahara Koichi’s main focus is on Mr. Gong.”
"Mr. Gong."
Miyomichi Hiroshi muttered the name again: "I would like to ask, how do you know about Mr. Gong?"
"I am a woman." Aya Akagi said casually: "A woman has many ways to get information that others don't know, such as using her own body."
Hiroshi Miyomichi smiled...
…
"Mr. Tanishiro, I'm sorry that you took the risk of coming here to meet me."
"Mr. Dai from Chongqing and Master Meng from Shanghai, try to hide as much as possible." Gu Fanyuan said with a smile: "In comparison, it is said that Master Meng from Shanghai is more troublesome. If you get caught by him, it will be like being caught by a kid." If you are entangled, you will never get rid of it in this life. Tell me, Master Meng, why are you so anxious to come to me? "
How embarrassing.
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Mr. Gu Fan, it's really urgent, the evacuation of those Soviet pilots."
"Well, the Japanese already know." Tanishigehara nodded: "I got the order from my superiors and tried every means to capture one or two Soviet pilots and make them public to put pressure on the Soviet Union. The Army also knew Yes, they are mainly responsible for this, but I don’t know exactly how the Army will act.”
"It's nothing more than a massive manhunt in Shanghai." Meng Shaoyuan had no time to think: "If I had a way to get these Soviet pilots out of Shanghai and take a boat to Wuhan, would they be intercepted by you on the river?"
"It's just that you can get them on board. Remember, it's a foreign ship, and Britain and the United States are the best." Michio Tanishigehara immediately replied: "The Japanese are not very good at boarding ships for inspection, otherwise, it is very likely to cause serious problems." diplomatic dispute. What's more, what can they find when they board the ship? A bunch of old men? How can they prove that they are Soviet pilots? Take them off the ship for inspection?
Even if the Japanese are really so lawless that they dare to do this, and they are found to be Soviets, how can they prove that they are pilots? If it was proved that they were pilots, how could it be proved that they went to Wuhan? It proves that they indeed went to Wuhan to participate in the war, but how to prove that they were appointed by the Soviet government? On the contrary, if they really dare to do this, they will definitely arouse the strongest pressure from the Soviet Union and the country where the ship is located. The old Russians are not easy to deal with. They have long wanted to find excuses to deal with the Japanese in the Northeast! "
Having said this, he smiled: "The Japanese are not fools and will not take such risks, and the Japanese Navy is even less fools. If you let go of the people in the Army, why should our Navy wipe your ass under the pressure of public opinion? Besides, Let me tell you clearly, even if the Navy confirms that there are indeed Soviet pilots on board, what I can guarantee is that they will just pretend they don’t know.”
Meng Shaoyuan also laughed.
First of all, the Japanese Navy will never risk the pressure of causing diplomatic disputes to help the Army deal with the aftermath. Secondly, they are eager to see the Army’s jokes.
The bigger the joke, the better!
The Japanese navy will also hold a bench to watch the show.
Meng Shaoyuan remembered a joke after the war that the Japanese Army was ordered to arrest the Big Four: Roosevelt, Churchill, Chairman of the Generalissimo and Stalin. The Big Four panicked and ran as fast as they could.
At this moment, a group of Japanese navy suddenly appeared in front, and the four giants suddenly became desperate.
Seeing that they were desperate, the Japanese navy not only gave them a way, but also provided them with a boat to allow them to escape.
The Japanese army asked them why they did this.
The Japanese Navy replied: "We have not received orders from our superiors to arrest the Big Four. You bunch of grass-eating country bumpkins in the Army are not qualified to receive such a credit."
The Japanese navy eats curry and the army eats grass.
In the eyes of the Japanese Navy, the Army is all rubes, and the Army's life is a cheap life!
Although this is a joke, the contradiction between the Japanese army and navy has basically reached an irreconcilable point.
During the Russo-Japanese War, the army would rather advance under artillery fire than ask for naval support because it just looked down upon the navy.
The same goes for the Navy. During the Pacific War, the Navy's aircraft were almost finished flying, but the Army's aircraft were still conducting military parades.
Of course, this is also accompanied by competition for resources. After all, if the navy invests more, the army will be relatively reduced.
These various reasons have created constant quarrels between them. There have been two cases where after the introduction of technology from Germany, due to conflicts between the two sides, the screws produced were all with opposite threads. The Army screws were screwed to the left, while the Navy screwed to the right. .
"I feel relieved with Mr. Gu Fan's guarantee." Meng Shaoyuan's expression also became relaxed: "I am planning to transfer those Soviet pilots in the near future. We will keep in touch at any time."
"These are all matters of the National Government and have nothing to do with me." Gu Shigendao did not take it seriously at all: "When that day comes, I will personally grasp the news about the navy and inform you in time. Of course, this is not for the National Government. .”
"I'm doing things for this country." Meng Shaoyuan continued for him: "But I still want to thank you!"
