Li Shiqun really began to play his role.
When receiving Tian Qi's report, Meng Shaoyuan finally fully understood why this person became one of the biggest enemies of the military commander during the Anti-Japanese War.
Some of the strategies he proposed for Doihara Kenji were already known to Meng Shaoyuan, and some were unheard of.
One word:
poison!
Comprehensively suppressing the military's living space in the Japanese-controlled areas and trapping them in the public concessions, this alone has already dealt a good blow to the military.
We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible.
In fact, before Li Shiqun came to Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan was already thinking about how to deal with it, but he never thought of a particularly good way.
Only when the crisis really appears in front of you can you feel the tremendous pressure.
"Order, all contact points in our Japanese-controlled areas will be upgraded to armed contact points." Meng Shaoyuan made his arrangements after pondering over and over again:
"All contact points must strengthen vigilance and must leave at least two evacuation routes. If exposed, no resistance is allowed, and you should immediately look for opportunities to evacuate. If you can not return to the public concession, try not to return to the public concession, spread out, and continue to control Japan We are lurking in the area and there is no need to contact our superiors in the short term.”
The establishment of various contact points in the Japanese-controlled areas is a "key lurking".
Spreading out those agents who have had their contact points destroyed and adopting a state of silence is called "dispersed lurking."
This means that the military commander's working ideas in Shanghai have also begun to change.
A good leader will not stay the same.
Situations are always changing and plans are constantly being adjusted.
Since Li Shiqun's strategy for the Japanese was to drive all the military agents back to the public concession, Meng Shaoyuan dispersed them.
A contact point, from now on, does not have to be a fixed and organized way to disperse agents among the people and mix with ordinary people, either teachers, workers, or "traitors".
This expands their living space and facilitates long-term lurking.
It wasn't the best approach, but it would be enough to deal with the impending first Japanese attack.
"From now on, the Japanese will begin to reuse traitors like never before." Meng Shaoyuan said with a solemn face: "Some people will step forward to act as vanguards. Our way of dealing with traitors in the past was to cast a wide net and deal with as many traitors as we caught. , now we need to change our thinking, from a comprehensive strike to a focused strike!"
To be honest, Li Shiqun's suggestions are very effective.
The Japanese left the public concessions alone for the time being. Rather than abandoning the public concessions, the Japanese changed to doing it themselves, turning it into mainly traitors to deal with the military commanders and contain the military commanders' power.
A snake can't do without a head.
The Japanese plan is to use the Intelligence Headquarters and the new organization that will be established soon, headed by Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun, as leaders, with Japanese advisers, to command the traitors in Shanghai.
Then, the following will cooperate with a group of people who have "prestige" in Shanghai.
For example, Ji Yunqing is the best candidate.
There is no need to worry too much about the intelligence headquarters. Miao Chengfang and Tian Qi are guarding there. Although they will also cooperate with the Japanese to stage a few dramas, they will control the scale very well.
And people like Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun, and Ji Yunqing will become troublesome for a long time to come.
In the future, my main opponents will be these traitors.
"Report." Xiao Zhong hurriedly walked in: "Wu Rencang, deputy general manager of Jiangsu Farmers Bank and manager of Shanghai Branch, wants to see you."
Wu Rencang?
broken.
Meng Shaoyuan was shocked. He must not be a superman. It is impossible to think of everything in his head all the time. There will always be negligence.
As soon as Wu Rencang's name was mentioned, he immediately knew that something had happened to the Shanghai Branch of Jiangsu Agricultural Bank of China.
The Anti-Japanese War broke out in Songhu, and our people fought bloody battles for several months. Shanghai fell. Wu Rencang was ordered to stay in Shanghai and preside over the business of the Shanghai Branch of Jiangsu Agricultural Bank of China. He was committed to moving the Agricultural Bank of China's funds inward to facilitate the construction of the southwest rear area. Thanks to the joint efforts of staff staying in Shanghai, banking operations were able to continue.
"Please quickly." Meng Shaoyuan said hurriedly.
After a while, Wu Rencang walked in: "You, are you Meng Shao, the former District Chief Meng?"
"Manager Wu, it's me, please sit down."
"I won't sit down." Wu Rencang suddenly cried loudly: "District Chief Meng, take revenge, help us take revenge!"
"Manager Wu, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, speak slowly." Wu Jingyi comforted her at the side.
Wu Rencang took off his eyes and wiped away his tears: "Last night, my dormitory of the Shanghai Branch of Jiangsu Farmers Bank was attacked by a group of gunmen. The bank employees in my dormitory were massacred in a hail of bullets, which was heinous. This time the bank staff were martyred. There were 6 people including Xi Shen and Fan Jingjiang, and 4 people including Cheng Xiuming were seriously injured. I survived because I didn’t stay in the dormitory that night!”
"What!" Wu Jingyi exclaimed: "Someone actually attacked you?"
"I have not told a single lie." Wu Rencang gritted his teeth and said: "I, the Shanghai Branch of Jiangsu Farmers Bank, have been ordered to take care of and transfer the government's assets left in Shanghai. I have long been a thorn in the side of the Japanese. The Japanese came to threaten and induce me several times, but I was always beaten. I sternly refuse. This massacre must be caused by them."
"Assistant Wu, send a few people to Bank of China Shanghai Branch immediately."
Meng Shaoyuan did not worry about the Farmers Bank first, but instead worried about the Bank of China: "However, they mainly monitor the perimeter. If you see someone wandering outside the Bank of China but don't go in, you must pay more attention and beware of bomb attacks. When necessary , shot to death on the spot!”
"yes!"
Wu Jingyi immediately gave the order.
First massacre the Farmers Bank, and then attack the Bank of China. This was the first round of attacks after Li Shiqun came to Shanghai!
The person commanding the operation is Ji Yunqing's number one killer, the number one killer who will soon appear, the infamous "No. 76":
Wu Sibao!
"Manager Wu." Meng Shaoyuan said with a sneer: "You go back first, bury the dead, and arrange the lives of their families. I will send a group of people to the Farmers Bank to protect you. I will definitely help you avenge this!"
"District Chief Meng, our people cannot die in vain." Wu Rencang bowed deeply to Meng Shaoyuan: "Please."
Of course you can't die in vain!
Since Li Shiqun couldn't wait to take action and didn't launch the strongest counterattack, he, the newly appointed district chief, would not be able to explain to his superiors and subordinates!
"If they touch our Farmers Bank, I will touch their Zhengjin Bank!"
Meng Shaoyuan once again set his sights on Zhengjin Bank.
The Zhengjin Bank robbery has not been solved to this day, but since then, the Japanese have significantly strengthened the security of Zhengjin Bank, not only increasing the number of guards, but also all carrying weapons.
Since the incident of beating Tetsuhiro Matsudaira, the unlucky general manager Ishishima Hiroshi was transferred back to the country, and a new person named Yida Inri was appointed as the general manager.
This Inri Yida was once a Japanese colonel. He was seriously injured on the battlefield and lost an arm. After recovering from the injury, he was sent to Shanghai to take over Ishishima Hiroshi's post.
It is said that this person is extremely self-disciplined and attaches great importance to bank safety work. As soon as he arrived, he immediately organized bank staff to perform two performances.
The main content of the acting is how the bank guards and staff should cooperate to resist the robbers when they encounter another robbery.
It may still be difficult to use Zhengjin Bank again.
But what Meng Shaoyuan wanted to do must be done.
"And that Wu Sibao." Meng Shaoyuan snorted coldly: "The number one killer? He actually attacked the Farmers Bank? Do you really think that our army has no one?"
"Wu Sibao is not easy to deal with." Wu Jingyi reminded from the side: "This man is Ji Yunqing's driver and bodyguard. He has extremely accurate shooting skills and can always hit the mark. At that time, there was a conflict between the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang. The Hong Gang organized a group of thugs to climb over the wall and sneak in late at night. Ji Yunqing's family is preparing for an assassination.
Just as the two assassins were about to shoot Ji Yunqing, who was sleeping, they were spotted by Wu Sibao. He opened fire from the side and the two assassins fell to the ground. Then, he commanded the bodyguards of the Ji family to eliminate all the more than 30 Hong gang thugs who had sneaked into the Ji family, without any casualties.
Wu Sibao has become famous since then. Ji Yunqing, in order to thank Wu Sibao for saving his life, betrothed his goddaughter She Aizhen to him as his wife. He has a high status now. Not only is his marksmanship accurate, but he is always accompanied by more than a dozen people. He is very alert and will run away as soon as he sees something is wrong. However, he is very familiar with the situation and can run very fast. "
Meng Shaoyuan was not the kind of impulsive person, and Wu Sibao really had nothing to do with him for the time being.
She Aizhen?
This woman is also a well-known female gangster leader. A teenager marries a gangster, a young man marries a gangster, and a middle-aged man marries a traitor. She is the female version of "Young and Dangerous" in the Republic of China, nicknamed "Mother Viper".
She worked as a female worker and a maid, but was not as good as she hoped. Finally, she decided to go to the casino and became a shaker girl. In order to attract gamblers, this profession certainly requires good looks and strong coping skills. These are She Aizhen's strengths. So she had a smooth time in the casino and quickly attracted the attention of others.
Soon, She Aizhen became the goddaughter of Ji Yunqing, the leader of the Qing Gang at the time.
"Ji Yunqing's several casinos are all managed by She Aizhen." Meng Shaoyuan already had a plan in mind: "Choose the one with the best business and get rid of it!"
"Yes! But that means we and Ji Yunqing are also at full war."
"A war is about to start. I'm not afraid of the Japanese. What should I be afraid of a gangster leader?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "I have wanted to deal with him for a long time, but I have been unable to use my hands some time ago. Now that he has taken the initiative, he is willing to act as a Li Shiqun's vanguard, then I won't be polite, I'll see how long Ji Yunqing can last!"
"Should we use the old man from Jinghu Lake?"
"No need." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "This is a matter between our military commander and Ji Yunqing. Don't let the old man get involved and cause unnecessary trouble to him. After all, he and Ji Yunqing are both from the Qing Gang."
Speaking of this, something suddenly occurred to me:
"Bring me Song Ziqiang!"
