With the arrival of Wang Jingwei, military command seems to have made some moves.
According to an insider embedded within the military command, Meng Shaoyuan, the director of the Shanghai District of the Military Command Bureau, has ordered that Wang Jingwei must be successfully assassinated in Shanghai.
This immediately made Japan feel like it was facing a formidable enemy.
When they were in Hanoi, military reunification agents almost succeeded in assassinating Wang Jingwei. If Wang Jingwei hadn't temporarily changed rooms by some mistake, he would never appear in Shanghai again.
Shanghai, this magical city!
There is a magical organization in Shanghai.
There is another magical figure in Shanghai.
No matter what, they cannot succeed.
Otherwise, Japan's countless efforts will be completely in vain.
Shadow Zuozhenzhao issued the highest order:
Protect Wang Jingwei and his party at all costs, and there must be no mistakes.
He personally accompanied Wang Jingwei. Ever since he arrived in Shanghai, he had never left her!
All orders were given by phone or warrant.
Maybe the man named Meng Shaoyuan was really magical, but how could he assassinate Wang Jingwei when he was on full alert and never left?
That night, Chen Bijun, who lived in the French Concession, was assassinated.
Meng Baifeng, who was responsible for protecting Chen Bijun, responded calmly and ordered his bodyguards to resist in the yard.
He, on the other hand, held the door firmly with a pistol. The two sides exchanged fire for about three minutes and fired more than ten shots at each other. Seeing that the attack was not going well, the killers who were worried about being surrounded took the initiative to retreat.
Afterwards, according to the on-site investigation, there were at least seven killers.
This attempted assassination once again sounded the alarm to the Japanese and Wang Jingwei:
The military commander not only has to deal with Wang Jingwei, but also Chen Bijun and everyone around Wang Jingwei!
Kage Zuozhenzhao began to mobilize a large amount of power.
You have to make sure nothing goes wrong!
On the Japanese side, elites such as Koichi Hahara, Kojiro Kawamoto, and Hiroshi Miyomichi; on the Chinese side, tough traitors such as Tian Qi, Ding Mocun, and Li Shiqun were all deployed to protect the safety of Wang Jingwei's followers.
At the same time, Yingzuo Zhenzhao ordered that before the crisis was resolved, in the face of provocative attacks by military commanders, they must adopt a defensive posture and not take the initiative to have direct contact with military commanders.
On May 6, the day Wang Jingwei publicly rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, a five-member financial expert team urgently transferred from Japan also arrived in Shanghai.
This expert group is headed by Assistant Director of the Financial Control Bureau of Japan's Ministry of Finance, Iwabuchi Yoshiro, and is composed of Onishi Taro, Vice President of the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Japan, Korekiyo Tomita, Bank of Japan Banknote Issuance Supervisor and Banknote Expert, and others.
They have only one mission, to quickly investigate the problem of counterfeit banknotes that began to spread in Shanghai and gradually spread to the surrounding areas, and to find a solution.
After the expert team arrived in Shanghai, they quickly entered the public concession and conducted a comprehensive investigation.
If the counterfeit banknote problem is not solved for one day, the lethality it will bring will even far exceed that of a battle!
…
"Deploy a few more teams to look for opportunities to assassinate Wang Jingwei."
When Meng Shaoyuan issued this order, he seemed a little careless.
"Six more teams have been dispatched."
Wu Jingyi immediately said: "However, the Japanese side is heavily protecting Wang Jingwei. Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, whose heart has been transferred to Shanghai, even stays close to Wang Jingwei. It is difficult for us to find opportunities to assassinate him."
"Yeah, it's not that easy to kill someone." Meng Shaoyuan said unexpectedly: "But it's not possible without killing. The failed assassination in Hanoi made Boss Dai very unhappy. Knowing that Wang Jingwei arrived in Shanghai, Boss Dai must still The assassination order will be issued again. Rather than being passive then, it is better to take the initiative now and look for opportunities."
"Let's do our best."
It can be seen that Wu Jingyi is obviously not confident about assassinating Wang Jingwei.
"One more thing." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated for a rare moment: "Given that the current situation is getting more and more complex, we need to dispatch spies to the Japanese and enemy and puppet organizations in batches one by one. I need to select some suitable candidates."
Wu Jingyi remained silent.
Transporting spies to the enemy is an extremely dangerous matter. If one of the ten spies transported can successfully lurk, the mission is considered a success.
And the only one who lurked might be exposed the next day.
To put it nicely, this is called performing a latent mission. To put it bluntly, it is no different from committing suicide.
Moreover, in terms of personnel selection, it is really too troublesome. The personnel who perform latent tasks do not require you to be very skilled. The key is whether your brain can react quickly enough and how to deal with emergencies.
And the most important point:
How to gain the enemy's trust?
Meng Shaoyuan wanted to do this after careful consideration.
Tian Qi has completely established a foothold. Li Shiqun's intelligence headquarters has been open for business for a long time before Li Shiqun's special agent headquarters was established.
However, with the sacrifices of Miao Chengfang and Gu Fanyuandao, Tian Qi was isolated.
His father Meng Baifeng could indeed help him, but with Wang Jingwei's official rebellion, Meng Baifeng put more thought into Wang Jingwei.
He is a big plier to contain Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun!
We need to send some more undercover agents over to take some of the pressure off Tian Qi.
Meng Shaoyuan even had an idea in his heart that he would not tell anyone.
Once Tian Qi is in danger, these people sent out will become victims to protect Tian Qi.
Very selfish? Despicable? A jerk?
Meng Shaoyuan fully admitted it.
However, Tian Qi is now the director of the Intelligence Headquarters and has won the trust of the Japanese. No one can replace his position and his importance.
Even if ten people or a hundred people are sacrificed, as long as Tian Qi's safety can be ensured, it's worth it!
"I will choose some people." Wu Jingyi finally said.
"Time is very urgent." Meng Shaoyuan mused: "As Wang Jingwei arrived in Shanghai, No. 76 also began to take action, and the Li Shi masses were recruiting people."
Wu Jingyi understood immediately that Meng Shaoyuan wanted to select suitable lurking personnel immediately.
"This person needs to be a stranger." Wu Jingyi thought for a while: "How about the group of people sent from Taihu?"
Meng Shaoyuan was startled, then nodded repeatedly: "This group of people is good, especially the one named Lu Meng. He is meticulous in his work. Well, I think I will choose him. Not only him, but also choose a few more from the newcomers sent by Taihu." come out."
Wu Jingyi was a little curious.
Why is Meng Shaoyuan only interested in No. 76? Where is Tian Qi’s intelligence headquarters? Why didn't he try to put an undercover agent in?
Or does Meng Shaoyuan think that with the arrival of Wang Jingwei, the status of No. 76 will be greatly improved?
At this time, Wu Jingyi would not know that in the intelligence headquarters, their top leader Tian Qi had already been a sleeper agent.
Meng Shaoyuan was relieved that Tian Qi was guarding there!
…
"Director Tian, it's really noisy right now."
Squadron leader Pan Deqiu walked into Tian Qi's office: "I went to the Japanese to deliver a document, but it was passed around and I didn't know who to give it to."
"There is no way." Tian Qi looked a little helpless: "Kenji Doihara is gone, and Shadow Zuo who just came... What is Shadow Zuo?"
"Kage Zuozhenzhao."
"Yes, Yingzuo Zhenzhao, why are the names of Japanese people so hard to pronounce?" Tian Qi sighed: "Yingzuo Zhenzhao stays with Wang Jingwei all day long and does not hand over work or hold meetings. The former leader I left. The leader has not officially taken up his post. What's the chaos if it's not chaos? Also, Hahara and the others have been transferred away. I have a few top-secret documents here, and now I don't even know who should give them to them. Forget it. Forget it, let’s leave it here for now.”
"Director Tian, what do you mean by this?" Another squadron leader, Dong Baoxian, walked in with anger on his face.
"What's your situation?" Tian Qi glanced at him: "Didn't you cooperate with the Japanese in carrying out the operation?"
"Is that possible?" Dong Baoxian said angrily: "I took my squadron to the designated place and waited there for more than two hours, but I didn't see a single person."
"No way?" Tian Qi was startled for a moment and picked up the phone: "Yes, I am Tian Qi. Yesterday afternoon, I received a call asking me to dispatch a squadron... Yes, it was Muraki Taijun. Which...Which Muraki Tai-kun? Isn't he from your intelligence analysis class? What, there are two Murakis in the intelligence analysis class? Are they not here? They were just transferred out this morning? Ah, forget it."
Tian Qi hung up the phone: "Damn it, the Japanese can't even figure out which Muraki is calling. I heard the voice sounded like Captain Muraki Saha, but he was just transferred to perform the mission. It's really confusing. It’s a fucking mess. Forget it, think of it as a wasted trip.”
"Director Tian, because of a phone call from the Japanese, we lost our legs and in the end we couldn't figure out who gave the order?" Dong Baoxian was indignant.
Tian Qi smiled bitterly: "What are our identities? We are traitors, we are dogs in the eyes of others, and the Japanese are our masters! If the master lets the dogs run, will the dogs dare not run? Okay, here comes the Japanese transfer order. , just say I'm not here to save you trouble. You all go to rest and don't worry about any tasks for the time being. I'll go out to avoid calls from the Japanese."
…
Tian Qi stood there and lit a cigarette.
The wind was a bit strong today, so it took me several matches to light the cigarette.
Tian Qi took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled a large puff of smoke.
Then, he looked around and stuffed the extinguished match into the gap between the bricks on the side, revealing only a burned head.
Then, he took a few puffs of cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, and left.
…
Meng Shaoyuan lit the cigarette and took a nice puff.
The wind is really strong today.
He looked to the side.
A used match was stuffed into the gap of the drill bit, half exposed.
He took out the match, looked at it, and threw it on the hungry ground.
He held out his hand and hailed a rickshaw.
…
Meng Shaoyuan stood at the door, took out a key from his pocket, and opened the door of the house.
