The outbreak of the "7.29 Incident" was something that the Japanese did not expect to happen so soon even though they were prepared.
This also taught Kenji Doihara, who had just taken charge of Shanghai, a good lesson:
Meng Shaoyuan, do it if you say so!
In his dictionary, there is never anything sloppy.
The Japanese counterattack was somewhat panicked.
They are not yet ready for a full-scale war.
Even Qingqi Qingyin has arrived in Shanghai with a large number of spy reinforcements.
These spies were all transferred from all over the country. Most of them set foot in Shanghai for the first time and were full of strangeness to the city.
It takes some time to become familiar.
"Your Excellency General, we are taking them to understand this city." Yasuhide Ituchi said to Kenji Doihara: "Especially the public concession, which is the focus of our competition with the military and is also the place where assassinations occur most frequently. Yanagawa Jun made a plan to send our people into the public concession in batches one by one. The first is to let them keep the whole picture of the public concession in mind. The second is to look for opportunities to carry out assassinations and strengthen the power of the public concession.
The first batch of fifteen agents have entered, taking down two military unified contact points and killing four military unified agents. The second batch of thirteen agents will enter the concession at a later date. On the first day, we visited Jing'an Temple, Yuyuan Road and other places. In the evening, we explained the structure and composition of the Shanghai Public Concession under Military Reunion. On the second day, we visited Chengdu Road in the morning and performed tasks in the afternoon. "
Doihara Kenji nodded: "Who is responsible?"
"Under the personal selection of His Excellency Yanagawa, Lieutenant Colonel Masaoka Hisho is responsible for the reception and arranging tasks for them." Yasuhide Ituchi quickly said: "Masaka Hisabu is an old man, and he is still serving as Yoshio Banda in the Army Shanghai. When he was the head of the agency, he had already served as the actual task executor. However, he had an eccentric personality and was not gregarious. He was never appreciated by the two agency chiefs, Yoshio Banda and Hitoshi Matsumoto.
Yanagawa-kun discovered him and enabled him to serve as an instructor. After Zhenggang Jiusheng took office, he worked very diligently. When my first batch of agents entered the public concession, he personally received them and led them to carry out their tasks, taking the lead. During the fierce battle, his arm was injured, but he didn't care at all. On the contrary, he was very excited. "
Kenji Doihara showed an expression of satisfaction on his face: "Itauchi-kun, in the previous long-term struggles, sharp factional conflicts have buried many of our talents. Now, it is time to fully discover these people. . Not only must you trust them, but also reuse them. What will happen if an awl is suddenly sharpened after being hidden for a long time? "
"It will be extremely sharp and pierce the enemy's heart!"
"Yes, these are the talents we need." Doihara Kenji said thoughtfully: "Hiroshi Miyomichi, Koichi Hahara, and Kojiro Kawamoto are all young talents in the empire. Their qualifications may be slightly lacking, and their connections may not be the same. They are vast, but they are full of vigor. If you give them more opportunities, they will make great contributions to the empire."
Having said this, I thought for a moment: "The Four Heavenly Kings!"
"What?" Itauchi Yasuhide didn't understand.
"Hiroshi Miyomichi, Koichi Hahara, Kojiro Kawamoto, and Kusho Masaoka are the Four Kings of Shanghai in our Empire of Japan!" Kenji Doihara said slowly.
Itauchi Yasuhide finally understood what this meant: "General, this is a good idea. Not only can they be grateful to you, General, but it can also greatly improve our morale. The Four Heavenly Kings, they are the Four Heavenly Kings that we can rely on!"
The "Four Heavenly Kings" of the Japan-Special Shanghai Agency were born.
"Focus on Meng Shaoyuan!" Doihara Kenji was obviously still a little wary of this person: "A very remarkable person, the most powerful agent on the surface?"
"Yes, that's what I call him." Yasuhide Banuchi admitted frankly: "Meng Shaoyuan has indeed proved that he has such strength, and I need to inspire our people."
"Very good." Doihara Kenji smiled slightly: "It is definitely not a bad thing to set up a powerful enemy for us and alert us all the time. Itanai-kun, you have done a very good job. Of course, in the latest stage, In addition to the all-out war with the military, the safety of the international visiting delegation must also be paid close attention to!"
In fact, neither Doihara Kenji nor Itauchi Yasuhide are very worried about the safety of international visiting delegations.
Foreigners accounted for more than 80% of the entire delegation. No matter how arrogant the military commander was, he would not dare to risk causing serious international disputes and harm this delegation.
Otherwise, the national government's international situation will quickly become serious.
Another point is that the activity areas of the international visiting delegation are all in the Japanese-controlled areas, where there are a large number of Japanese troops. It will definitely not be so pleasant for the military commanders to move again.
The military commander will not take any chances.
Meng Shaoyuan doesn't have that much courage!
Kenji Doihara's overall plan was to strictly control the Japanese-controlled areas, gradually squeeze out the military forces, and then gradually suppress the activities of the military in the public concession.
Slowly, the situation in Shanghai is firmly under control!
Don't worry, the entire battlefield is dominated by the Japanese Empire's army, and those under the military command are actually fighting alone.
Winning the final victory was only a matter of time for Doihara Kenji...
…
"This is all the information you want."
No matter what time it is, Nitta Yuki always looks slightly panicked. Who would have thought that the director of the Telecommunications and Monitoring Division of the Japanese Army's Shanghai Secret Service had already become a spy for the military commander?
A large amount of information was leaked from his hands and reached the hands of the military commander far and wide.
At this time, Nitta Yuki was completely on board a pirate ship. Thinking about it, it was almost impossible.
"The current situation is very bad, Mr. Meng." Yuki Nitta said carefully: "After Kenji Doihara arrived in Shanghai, he began drastic rectification. Many old people have been neglected, including me."
"Oh, really?" Meng Shaoyuan suddenly paid attention.
"Yes."
Nitta Yuki sighed: "In view of the frequent leaks of telegrams before, although they will not suspect me, they have already expressed serious dissatisfaction. Kenji Doihara transferred a telecommunications expert from China. If nothing else, Came to take my job."
Pity.
Meng Shaoyuan was particularly good at using Nitta Yuki. Moreover, due to various reasons in the past, Nitta Yuki had no way of turning back and could only follow Meng Shaoyuan to the end.
If this person loses power, it will definitely be a loss for Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan thought there for a while: "Mr. Nitta, we are friends, and I will never treat my friends badly. Now, your son is living very well in the United States, with no worries about food and clothing, and we also let him stay anonymous and lurk deeply. . I will give you an address. If you are in danger, you can evacuate there urgently and someone will pick you up."
After speaking, he wrote an address on the paper and put it in front of Nitta Yuki: "Write it down."
Nitta Yuki remembered this address firmly.
Meng Shaoyuan immediately burned the note: "Mr. Nitta, if the situation is so tense according to what you said, I personally suggest that you retreat in advance. To avoid it being too late if something really goes wrong."
"I know I know."
Nitta Yuki murmured and sighed: "I will keep an eye on the timing."
…
For the first time, Hahara Koichi felt that power was in his own hands.
With the arrival of Kenji Doihara, a large number of young and talented people have been promoted.
This includes him.
Chief of the Intelligence Analysis Section.
High position and authority.
More importantly, Hahara Koichi felt a kind of happiness.
The joy of being able to work without worrying about other struggles.
The first task Doihara Kenji gave him was to conduct a secret investigation internally, identify those who were suspected, and ensure the safety within the intelligence agency!
Doihara Kenji was convinced that there must be many military commanders’ spies hidden in the Shanghai intelligence agency!
Find out one by one!
Koichi Hahara still followed his usual old method and collected all the information that the entire Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai could collect.
As long as you do it, there will definitely be flaws!
"This is a huge job." Since Tian Qi was transferred to Yanagawa Yasunumi, it is now a rare opportunity to see Hahara Koichi. Today, he was ordered to deliver information before he had the chance to meet again:
"With so many pieces of information over so many years, I'm afraid we have to look at the first half of the year, right?"
"I'm afraid it's more than that." Hanbara Koichi smiled: "According to my estimate, it will take a year. After all, I am only a human being, and a person's energy is limited. However, I have always had doubts before, whether our telecommunications department is Is there something wrong? You see, there have been a lot of leaks in the past. On the surface, it seems that they all happened in other places, but if you look into it carefully, they all have a certain connection with the leakage of telecommunications intelligence. Why? "
"Are you suspicious of the Telecommunications Office?"
"It's not suspicion, but there must be a problem." Koichi Hahara said calmly: "Before, my power was too small and there was no way to check the telecommunications office, but it is different now. Mr. Tian, do you think there is a problem with Yuki Nitta? ?”
Tian Qi was surprised: "No way? He is an old man and has served the empire for so many years. And he has made a lot of contributions since last year."
"That's the problem." Hanbara Hikaru smiled: "In the past, Nitta Yuki was more than successful but not aggressive enough. Why did he suddenly start making meritorious deeds? Every time he made meritorious deeds, we would have a leak. It's really interesting. . One more little thing, where is his child? Where is his child? "
"It is said that he is not in good health and went abroad to recuperate." Tian Qi answered.
"Really? Not feeling well?" Hahara Koichi was silent for a moment: "I'm not feeling well. Mr. Tian, I think I should have a good talk with Mr. Nitta."
