DeRozan Italian Western Restaurant.
Lu Baoer didn't know that she made a phone call a few hours ago to invite Meng Shaoyuan to dinner to express her gratitude, but just such a phone call kept the military commander busy for several hours.
When the district chief goes out to eat, his safety must be ensured.
Is the surrounding area safe? Where can a gunman hide? Where can it become a sniper spot? Where is the restaurant located? Are there any Japanese or traitors among them? Where is the best evacuation point in the event of an emergency?
These are all things that they need to do in advance.
Inviting the head of the Shanghai District of the Military Unification Bureau to a meal is not that simple.
Some people also invited Meng Shaoyuan to dinner, but they needed to make a reservation in advance to give the agents time to fully prepare.
It's rare to make a sudden appointment like Lu Baoer.
That is, beautiful women are treated like this.
Even though it was confirmed that the risk factor was very low, Li Zhifeng still felt uneasy, so he asked a few agents to pretend to be guests and enter the restaurant in advance, and specially selected a few seats.
These positions blocked possible attack angles.
Especially the window seat is strictly prohibited.
Therefore, Meng Shaoyuan seemed to have come in alone, but there were all his people inside and outside the restaurant.
"Mr. Meng."
Lu Baoer stood up: "You are so punctual."
"You have a date with a beautiful woman, how could you not be on time." Meng Shaoyuan said in a personable manner.
"I'm so sorry." Lu Baoer said apologetically: "I didn't expect that there were so many guests here today, but this seat is the only one available."
"it's okay no problem."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at the "guests" in the restaurant, all the familiar faces, and felt itchy in his heart.
If he hadn't been afraid of death, he would have blasted them all out.
After ordering the meal, Lu Baoer ordered a bottle of red wine: "Mr. Meng, thank you very much for helping us. Dad's condition is much better now. There are no Japanese following him when he goes out. Dad asked me to thank you."
Silly sister, how could you say these things here? The more people there are, the more ears there are. What if it leaks out?
Fortunately, they are all our own people.
Meng Shaoyuan knew that she had never been a spy and didn't care: "These are all trivial matters, Miss Lu. From now on, the nature of your work will be different from that of your father. You must strictly pay attention to your own safety."
He said this very seriously.
Lu Baoer also asked equally seriously: "What should I do?"
"At every meeting, collect meeting materials." Meng Shaoyuan ordered: "You have to write down what was said at the meeting, but remember, you are not allowed to use paper and pen, you have to use your brain to record it. After you go back, rely on it again The memory is recorded.”
Meng Shaoyuan paused and continued:
“According to the intelligence we have, after the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government, it plans to establish a pseudo Central Reserve Bank and issue China Reserve Bonds in order to replace the circulation of legal tender, military bills, Huaxing bonds and United Bank bonds.
The Wang Puppet hoped to establish a new national financial network with the Central Reserve Bank as the center, and establish provincial, municipal and county banks, agricultural banks, and commercial banks to form a unified management system. Trying to promote the circulation of China Reserve Bonds in Shanghai, the economic center of China..."
Lu Baoer was a little stunned when he heard this.
She had never heard of these things.
These military commanders are really powerful, and they actually knew such top-secret information in advance.
In fact, only he, Meng Shaoyuan, knew about the Manchu Army.
"You and your father must work hard to collect this information."
Meng Shaoyuan specifically explained: "My father-in-law has been involved in the bank for a long time. He will try every means to sabotage and delay the issuance of fake China Reserve Bonds. At least before deciding to officially issue it, he will let us know the specific time in advance to make response preparations."
He knew that China Reserve Bonds would definitely be issued, but he could not remember the specific time.
A temporary defeat on the battlefield can be made up for in the next battle.
However, once it fails on the financial front, the loss will be immeasurable to the National Government and even to the entire Anti-Japanese War.
On the intelligence front, Meng Shaoyuan has no disadvantages.
Now his focus has begun to shift to the financial front.
This is a defensive battle and a bloody battle!
"I will tell my father." Lu Baoer listened very carefully: "My father said that he knew many friends in the financial world. Some of them were threatened by the Japanese and traitors and had to do things for them, but they were still patriotic in their hearts. . So he wanted to find an opportunity to persuade these people to wake up and work for the National Government."
"No, you must not."
Meng Shaoyuan's expression changed when he heard this: "Miss Lu, please go back and tell your father that we understand his kindness, but you must not do this."
"Why?" Lu Baoer asked puzzledly.
Why?
How difficult is it to instigate someone to rebel?
Among Lu Wenpu's friends, who was forced to do so, and who was willing to serve the Japanese?
Has anyone been developed into a Japanese spy?
Before instigating rebellion, detailed investigations must be carried out.
There are many people in the Military Command Bureau who instigated rebellion, and even Fu Xiaoan tried his best to win over them.
However, before deciding to instigate rebellion, we will classify the targets and proceed only after we have a certain degree of confidence.
It was necessary to instigate Zhu Shengyuan to rebel. Although he knew that he would rebel sooner or later, Meng Shaoyuan still needed several months and needed to help him solve his personal marital problems.
Only then can he serve the military commander wholeheartedly.
Lu Wenpu has no experience in this area at all. With his sharp tongue and the friends he considers himself to be, not only is it difficult to succeed, but there is also a great possibility of being exposed.
Lu Wenpu is a pawn in Meng Shaoyuan's plan to launch a financial war in Shanghai, and it is a very important pawn.
He didn't want to let this chess piece be exposed so early.
He couldn't explain it to Lu Baoer in depth: "Your father's job is to collect and pass on information to delay the issuance of China Reserve Bonds. We will have dedicated personnel to do the rest. Please tell your father, there are specialties in the art."
Lu Baoer nodded.
Meng Shaoyuan explained some things that needed attention in detail and checked the time: "Ms. Lu, there is a new movie tonight, an American movie. Do you want to watch it together?"
After the work has been handed over, it’s time for today’s “business”:
Pick up girls!
Unexpectedly, Lu Baoer said: "Thank you, Mr. Meng, but I am a little tired today. Let's wait another day."
"Ah, okay, okay." Master Meng was disappointed.
The agents responsible for protection felt a "thump" in their hearts.
It’s over.
Rejected, sir?
This is not a good thing.
According to the commander's urine, he must be angry.
What should I do if the commander is angry?
Take it out on your subordinates!
Hey, eldest lady, if you watch a movie with the chief, won't you lose a piece of your body?
it's good now.
Tonight, I am sad, no one can think about getting better.
"Then I'm leaving, Mr. Meng."
"See you next time, Miss Lu."
Look at Meng Shaoyuan’s face? Why the depressed look on his face?
