"Lieutenant Colonel Hahara, why are you free to come to Nanjing?"
As soon as he saw Hikaru Hahara come in, the new captain of the Nanjing Military Police, Kenji Asaguchi, was startled, then stood up: "Please sit down, Lieutenant Colonel Hahara."
"The situation is urgent, Your Majesty Colonel." Hikaru Hahara said straight to the point: "I just got a piece of information. A group of Chinese agents, with a group of children, left Wuhan, and their final destination may be Shanghai."
"Children?" Kenji Asaguchi disagreed: "A group of children actually drove Lieutenant Commander Hahara from Shanghai to Nanjing. You just need to send a telegram."
"Your Excellency Colonel, I don't pay much attention to children." Koichi Hahara said slowly: "But the one who is bringing these children, according to the intelligence, may be Meng Shaoyuan!"
"Meng Shaoyuan? Meng Shaoyuan from Shanghai?"
"Yes, that's the most powerful agent on the surface!"
"Lieutenant Colonel Hahara, there is no need to beautify a China agent so much." Kenji Asaguchi dismissed it: "The strongest agent on the surface? A Chinaman is not worthy."
Why do you always look down upon the Chinese so much?
We have lost to this Chinese so many times, haven't we still been able to attract your attention so far?
Koichi Hahara was not here to argue with the other party on this issue: "Your Excellency Colonel, once Meng Shaoyuan is captured, the entire intelligence agency of the Military Command Bureau in Shanghai, and even the organizations in Jiangsu and other places will be paralyzed and completely plunged into chaos. Nanjing , is the place he must pass through, and we must not lose such an opportunity!"
Although Kenji Asaguchi didn't take Meng Shaoyuan seriously, he still knew how important this man was to Japan.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Lieutenant Colonel Hahara, I am willing to assist you. However, my manpower is currently insufficient. Around Nanjing, Chinese resistance organizations have frequent activities. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of supplies to the front line, even our military police have been mobilized." We have a large number of people, and I can mobilize another group of people for you, but it won’t be a lot. Can you confirm Meng Shaoyuan’s route through Nanjing?”
Hahara Koichi slowly shook his head: "No, if you want to pass through Nanjing, you can only go by land or water. In comparison, water is safer, but that's Meng Shaoyuan, what will he choose?"
"Lieutenant Hahara, it will be difficult to blockade the people I gave you all the way." Kenji Asaguchi also looked embarrassed: "So, I think you should make sure first. I will arrange a place for you to live."
"Based on the time, Meng Shaoyuan and a group of children will not move very fast. We still have enough time to think about it." Hanbara Koichi stood up: "Then we will be troublesome for the next few days, Colonel-General."
"They are all soldiers of the empire, why should they be so polite."
Kenji Asaguchi sent someone to send Koichi Hahara out.
"Your Majesty Colonel."
As soon as Hanbara Hikari left, a young Chinese man wearing a long gown walked in.
"Ah, it's Mr. Ren, please sit down."
This was the Japanese occupation of Nanjing and the earliest cooperation with the Japanese. Ren Yinghao, the notorious traitor in Nanjing city!
The Henglong Trading Company he was responsible for survived unscathed during the Nanjing Massacre and hosted a large number of Japanese officers and soldiers.
More importantly, Henglong Company is also a partner of Matsudaira Co., Ltd., a Japanese aristocratic enterprise.
With this relationship, the Japanese still attach great importance to him.
In Nanjing, Henglong Company was the first to resume work and business.
How many upright Chinese people wish that this traitor would die early?
But not only did he not die, he tried his best to help the Japanese, and he was getting more and more attention from the Japanese, but he was still alive and well.
"Five thunders blasted the little Japan, and it was a hero who was cut into pieces with a thousand swords"!
This is a saying that even children in Nanjing know.
But who knew that it was this Ren Yinghao who was "deathed by a thousand cuts" who single-handedly saved 325 Nanjing citizens during the Nanjing Massacre!
If any of these 325 people spoke up about this, Ren Yinghao and his Henglong Company would be doomed.
Ren Yinghao is not afraid. When people are alive, they always have to do something. Really exposed? That is nothing more than death.
But this was a miracle in the war. Among the 325 people who were rescued, they knew how much risk Mr. Ren took for them, and no one said anything about it.
Even children.
It was not until the end of the Anti-Japanese War that 216 people in this group survived. At this time, they told everyone who was kept in the dark:
Mr. Ren is an upright hero!
At this time, Ren Yinghao handed an account book to Asaguchi Kenji and said in his increasingly proficient Japanese: "Your Majesty Colonel, these are last month's accounts, please take a look."
"Ah, no need. I can rest assured that Mr. Ren will do his job." Kenji Asaguchi has great trust in Ren Yinghao: "Mr. Ren, no one has come to trouble you recently, right?"
"Yesterday, someone hit me with a rock, hitting my waist in the eye, but it's nothing serious."
"I always say to send a few people to protect you. Mr. Ren is very important to our governance in Nanjing."
"No need, I can still protect myself." Ren Yinghao smiled: "Your Majesty, Colonel, I have transferred your personal income to the designated bank account according to your instructions."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Ren, you are the empire and my eternal friend. Ah, smoke." Kenji Asaguchi took out the cigarette from the drawer and handed it to Ren Yinghao.
Ren Yinghao lit a cigarette: "I saw just now that Mr. Hahara has been promoted to lieutenant colonel. Has he returned to Nanjing?"
"Come here to do business." Kenji Asaguchi said nonchalantly: "That Meng Shaoyuan from Shanghai came out of Wuhan with a group of children and will soon pass through Nanjing."
Meng Shaoyuan!
Boss Meng!
Ren Yinghao was shocked. He hadn't seen Boss Meng for a long time. He looked as if nothing had happened: "Meng Shaoyuan? Is it worth coming to Nanjing in person, Mr. Yuhara?"
"Yes." Kenji Asaguchi shook his head: "The superiors attach great importance to Meng Shaoyuan. He has disrupted Shanghai by himself. Hahara Koichi even dreams of catching him."
Boss Meng is coming.
The Japanese know it.
And arrangements are being made to capture him.
Otherwise, Koichi Hahara would not have come to Nanjing in person.
This message must be conveyed.
Since Boss Meng has to pass through Nanjing, he will definitely arrive in Zhenjiang first.
Ren Yinghao put out his cigarette butt: "By the way, Your Majesty Colonel, the business in Zhenjiang has encountered some problems. I have to go there in person. It's a big business."
"Yes, go in person and keep an eye on him."
Kenji Asaguchi did not dare to neglect at all. He opened the way for him and pressed the seal of the Nanjing Military Police Headquarters: "Take a few more people with you. The Chinese guerrillas are very active."
"Don't worry, Colonel, I will be very careful to protect myself." Ren Yinghao carefully closed the road.
Boss Meng!
You must stay in Zhenjiang before I arrive!
