"As soon as Kenji Doihara arrived in Shanghai, he immediately reorganized the Shanghai secret service."
Tian Qi took out the flask and took a sip: "Among them, the focus is on the Shanghai Special Work Department, with Itauchi Yasuhide as the director and Yanagawa Yasumi as the deputy director. Yanagawa Yasunumi is responsible for the actual work. Habara Koichi and others all got it Reuse. I am now under the command of Yasumi Yanagawa. He is supervising me very closely, and it is difficult to get out."
"Japanese work in Shanghai has fundamentally changed."
Meng Shaoyuan listened to his report: "Tian Qi, whether it is Kenji Doihara, Yasuhide Ituchi or Yasumi Yanagawa, they are the same as the opponents we have encountered in the past. You need to gain the trust of these people as soon as possible, especially Yanagawa Yasunjun. I will try to minimize my meetings with you during this period. At the same time, it seems that it is time for you to make a great contribution."
"There is always a way to gain their trust." Tian Qi looked unconcerned. He took another sip of wine: "Lao Miao has also begun to remain silent now. He also smelled the danger coming."
Meng Shaoyuan glanced at the wine bottle in Tian Qi's hand: "When did you get the best of this?"
Tian Qi smiled and shook the wine bottle without saying a word.
From the moment they met until now, all he talked about was intelligence matters. He didn't even ask about Hua'er's whereabouts.
It's not that he doesn't care, it's just that all his thoughts are now focused on work.
We must find a way as soon as possible to get Tian Qi out of the current predicament...
…
"The Japanese army has launched an attack on Lushan." In the office, Wu Jingyi pointed to the map hanging on the wall and said: "This time our army's strategic intention is to cover the transfer of the two corps of Xue Yue and Zhang Fakui, and to cooperate with the Wuhan battle on the periphery. My participating troops They were the Third Security Regiment and the Eleventh Security Regiment of Jiangxi Province, with Yang Yuchun as the commander-in-chief of the guerrillas. The Japanese participating troops were the Ji Gang Division, the 1st Division Tabo Regiment, and the Sato Regiment.
After the war started, the Japanese army surrounded Lushan, and our defenders were in dire straits. On July 30, the Taibao Regiment of the Japanese First Division carried more than ten field guns and fired fiercely at Tuba Ridge, launching a crazy first attack. Since then, the battle to defend Lushan has begun.
In the first battle, the Japanese troops abandoned rows of corpses and retreated down the hillside. After the attack, Deng Zichao, head of the 3rd Security Regiment, decided to form a death squad to raid the Japanese military base. This raid killed more than 300 Japanese troops, including one colonel and two lieutenants. "
"One colonel, two lieutenants!" Meng Shaoyuan particularly emphasized this number: "Using local troops to fight against the elite Japanese troops, they firmly contained a large number of Japanese troops, provided the most direct assistance for the Wuhan Battle, and were a role model for us. Now, convey Director Dai’s order!”
With a "swipe", everyone stood up.
Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "In order to support the Wuhan battle, our local military commanders, armed rangers, and guerrillas, in addition to continuing to fight against the Japanese invaders, also need to take on the important task of destroying the Japanese invaders' communication lines and supply lines. Even if there are heavy casualties, this determination cannot be changed! "
"yes!"
"In terms of intelligence, I will personally direct it. I announced the establishment of a temporary intelligence department, which will be responsible for providing intelligence to Wuhan. A temporary supplies department will be established, with Wu Jingyi as the commander." Meng Shaoyuan spoke quickly: "Why should a temporary supplies department be established? Wuhan needs supplies, all kinds of supplies, medicines, oceans, clothes... While I was away in Shanghai, those traitors and profiteers lived happily for a while, now it’s time to cause trouble for them.”
Everyone had a knowing smile on their faces.
"Wu Jingyi, make a specific list." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Make it more detailed. Whoever has money, who is particularly rich, will be assigned one by one. In order to raise enough supplies, any means are allowed!"
"clear!"
"Director Meng." A staff member opened the door and walked in: "I have your phone number."
"No answer."
"He said that if you hear his name, you will definitely pick it up."
"Oh, who is it?" Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious.
"Kenji Doihara!"
The entire conference room immediately became quiet upon hearing the name.
Kenji Doihara?
You actually called here?
Meng Shaoyuan touched his nose: "Where is the phone?"
…
When Meng Shaoyuan answered the phone, it was difficult to express his mood in words.
On the other end of the phone was a well-known man, who would also be my opponent for a long time in the future. I had just returned to Shanghai, and I actually received a call from him?
What's the purpose?
How did he get here?
Meng Shaoyuan adjusted his mood: "I am Meng Shaoyuan."
"Mr. Meng, hello, this is Kenji Doihara." Kenji Doihara's voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, I tried many ways to find this number. Is it convenient for you to speak now? "
"Very well, Mr. Doihara, I can give you another number. If you want to find me, you can call me directly."
"Ah, thank you so much. Mr. Meng, I think you should know that I have arrived in Shanghai and will be specifically responsible for guiding Shanghai's work. When I came to Shanghai, I heard the name of Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng, with your smart The brain, with its unparalleled means, causes us a lot of trouble.”
"Can I take that as a compliment?"
"It is a compliment, and I am not stingy with my words of praise. I always wonder why such an outstanding talent like you is not in Japan? What a pity. So, please make an offer now."
Make an offer? Buy yourself off?
Meng Shaoyuan had heard the name Doihara Kenji countless times and knew that he was a very good agent. However, when he dealt with him head-on for the first time, he realized that this man was even more powerful than he thought.
No nonsense, straight to the point.
Everyone has value and everyone can be bought. Unless the price offered by the other party is completely unacceptable to you.
Meng Shaoyuan thought for a moment: "My price is a bit expensive. For example, stop the war immediately and get all Japanese troops out of China!"
"This is a sky-high price, and I can't afford it at all." Kenji Doihara could be heard sighing: "Actually, I also know that you cannot be bribed. But what I want to remind you is that our army is... China is invincible on the battlefield, do you really not prepare a way out for yourself?"
"Since the Battle of Songhu, I have had no retreat, and every Chinese has no retreat." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly into the phone: "And from the first day you came to Shanghai, my retreat has been Completely blocked. You pulled out several of my contact points in one breath, and many of my men sacrificed their lives. Mr. Doihara, do you know my personality?"
"Appreciate further details."
"I have always had a bad reputation as a person. I am narrow-minded and will retaliate. If you give me a foot of respect, I may not return a foot to you, but if you touch a hair on my head, I will definitely pull out all your hair! "
"Are you threatening me?"
"Not a threat, just revenge."
"Mr. Meng, I called you today, in addition to trying to see if there is a possibility of cooperation... Ah, this is obviously not possible. The other purpose is to get a preliminary understanding of who you are from the conversation with you. What kind of person. My subordinates have also reported it to me, but it is better to know more details in person. You are really an impulsive person."
"Yes, I am very impulsive. I have always been impulsive." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "My people cannot be touched. Shanghai has been at peace for a long time, but when you unplug so many of my contact points, Shanghai starts a war. !”
Shanghai, the war has begun!
Since the Battle of Songhu, the military command and the Japanese special agencies have had countless battles, but starting from February 1938, both sides entered a period of relative stability.
No matter what kind of struggle occurs between the two sides, they are still trying their best to remain rational and never let this struggle become large-scale.
Kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
Neither China nor Japan is willing to reach the point where they cannot stop before they are fully prepared.
But now, Meng Shaoyuan told the other party very clearly:
Shanghai, the war has begun!
Kenji Doihara's tone changed slightly: "War? Are you ready? Can you bear those sacrifices? Behind me are the Japanese Marine Corps, Japanese warships, and the invincible army of the Japanese Empire. .”
"Shit!"
Meng Shaoyuan cursed into the phone: "How dare you say such words to me while standing on Chinese soil? Ask your subordinates what kind of retaliation they will receive if they offend Meng Shaoyuan? Your What's standing behind you? The army? It's worthless in my eyes. This is Great Shanghai, this is the Shanghai of me, Meng Shaoyuan!"
Kenji Doihara never expected that Meng Shaoyuan would say such words to him:
This is Great Shanghai, this is my, Meng Shaoyuan’s, Shanghai!
Is this person rich or arrogant?
its not right.
This is not the character a qualified intelligence agency leader should have.
How can one lead an organization with such impulsiveness and unscrupulousness?
"I'll give you a choice, Mr. Doihara." Meng Shaoyuan's tone became calmer again: "Get out of Shanghai, and you don't need to be threatened by war. If you stay in Shanghai, can you bear the sacrifice? I can answer you , yes. What about you? Can you bear the sacrifice?"
Japan has always threatened China with war.
But now a Chinese actually threatens Japan with war?
"I think I'm ready, Mr. Meng." Kenji Doihara sighed again: "Then, from now on, let's see who's mentality breaks down first."
"Thank you very much for calling me today." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "From this minute on, the intelligence agencies of China and Japan in Shanghai will enter full war mode."
"I'm waiting for you, Mr. Meng."
"Take care, Mr. Doihara."
The phone was hung up.
There was total silence.
"You heard everything? There's going to be a war."
Meng Shaoyuan said powerfully word by word:
"Shanghai, let's start the war!"
