"Meng Shaoyuan actually ran to Ningbo? Did he even fight in Houjia Village?"
Hikaru Hahara shook his head repeatedly and put down the newspaper.
I'm convinced, I'm really convinced.
Habara Koichi smiled bitterly.
Who could imagine that?
Meng Shaoyuan, the public enemy of the empire and the most powerful agent on the surface, actually participated in the Battle of Zhenhai and was still in Houjiacun, causing the warriors of the empire to suffer such a big loss?
Meng Shaoyuan.
Even though you are my enemy, I am really convinced by your performance.
"Hahara-kun." Nagashima Hiroshi said immediately: "Zhenhai, Meng Shaoyuan also suffered heavy losses. He must be returning to Shanghai. Can we find a way to ambush him on the way?"
"ambush?"
Han Yuanguang was noncommittal and turned to Tian Qi: "Tian Sang, what do you think?"
"It's impossible." Tian Qi said lightly: "Since Meng Shaoyuan has the ability to go to Ningbo, he must have the ability to come back. Not only that, he might also set a new trap. I think we should stay the same to cope with the changes. "
"I agree with Mr. Tian's opinion. |" Hanbara Koichi sighed: "We can no longer afford to fail again and again. I don't agree with acting rashly without a complete plan."
They were chatting there, and people like Kawamoto Kojiro, Ding Mocun, and Li Shiqun came one after another.
"His Excellency, the Chief of Agency is here!"
With this sound, everyone stood up immediately.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao walked in: "Everyone, please sit down."
After the last intelligence leak investigation, there was no movement from above.
Kokage Sasaki learned through his own channels that Major General Yoshimo Daigo and Colonel Ogawa Tsuhei had obtained the so-called "conclusive evidence" that the intelligence was leaked from Shanghai.
Bullshit evidence!
What does this have to do with Shanghai?
But the death of Matsui Yuya disrupted Kage Sasaki's overall plan.
He knew that there had been an irreparable rift in the friendship between him and Matsui Iwane for so many years.
"Everyone." Yingzuo Zhenzhao looked solemn: "Perhaps everyone knows that the empire's attack in Ningbo was not very smooth. If Ningbo can be captured, the meaning to Shanghai will be very different.
On the front line, the warriors of the empire fought bravely, and in Shanghai, it was time to create a new situation. Everyone should know that we and the military commanders have been fighting in Shanghai for so long, and both sides have suffered heavy losses. This has prevented us from opening a new situation in Shanghai. "
This is putting money on one's own face, and everyone knows it in their hearts.
In the battle with the military commander, he has always been at a disadvantage.
"Especially the failure of the implementation of China Reserve Bonds this time is the most regrettable." Ying Zuozhenzhao's eyes fell on Li Shiqun: "Mr. Li Shiqun, how do you view the failure of this financial war?"
Li Shiqun immediately stood up: "Our enemies are very cunning, but the implementation of China Reserve Bonds is imperative. Although we failed this time, we can definitely learn from the lessons and make a comeback. Your Excellency, the Director of the Agency, in order to ensure that the next China Reserve Bonds It can be fully implemented in Shanghai. After discussing with Director Ding, I decided to conduct a six-month preparation period.
In these six months, we will fully understand the enemy's weaknesses and win over as many supporters as possible. The enemy's interior is definitely not monolithic! "
"Since you have such an idea, it's good." Yingzuo Zhenzhao encouraged a few words: "In calling you here this time, I want to make it clear that you are all elites in the intelligence network of the Empire in Shanghai, and we cannot A necessary part. In order to deal with the intelligence work in Shanghai, Lieutenant Colonel Hahara Koichi specially formulated a 'Summer Plan'. Hahara-kun, please tell everyone about it."
"Yes."
Koichi Hahara said: "I reflected on the lessons we learned from our failures in past struggles. We seem to be powerful, but our fists can never be held together. It can even be said that we each do our own thing there. For example, a One department is there to perform its tasks, and the other department is completely unaware of it. This way of working is not advisable.
Therefore, with the approval of the Agency Chief, I decided to implement the "Xia Plan" to comprehensively reorganize and upgrade the Shanghai intelligence front. The "Xia Plan" is not to launch a fierce offensive against the military commanders and defeat them in one fell swoop. Judging from the current situation, we are not yet able to do this. "
Tian Qi listened very carefully.
He has always considered Hahara Koichi to be the biggest and most dangerous enemy.
It's not that his ability is so powerful, but that he is one of the few people who can correctly see his own flaws and shortcomings, and has the courage to correct them and learn from his opponents.
This kind of person, once he gets a chance, will be very scary!
Tian Qi wanted to find opportunities to get rid of this person several times.
However, Meng Shaoyuan once warned him sternly that the intelligence he brought out from his deep lurking was far more valuable than killing a dangerous opponent.
Unless there is a particularly good opportunity and there is no possibility of exposure, the assassination mission can be carried out.
Unfortunately, Tian Qi could not find such an opportunity.
Koichi Hahara takes his security work more seriously than anyone else.
It's not that he is afraid of death, but that he must let himself live in order to better serve his empire and the emperor.
At this time, Hahara Koichi said attentively:
"The first stage of the 'Xia Plan' is to balance the balance of power between us in the public concessions and the military commanders. Mr. Li Shiqun once formulated a plan to completely block military commanders' operations in the areas controlled by the empire and drive the military commanders into the public concessions. The maximum Minimize their activity space.
Although this plan was sabotaged by the military command and fell short of success, after careful consideration, I found that this plan is still feasible. Therefore, I will request the cooperation of the Military Police to launch a purge campaign in the empire-controlled areas to dig out those latent Chinese agents to the greatest extent possible and narrow the scope of their activities.
I admit that we cannot completely expel them from the empire-controlled areas, but doing so can reduce their activity space and cut off their connection with the public concession as much as possible so that they cannot interact with each other and gain nothing in the concession. If we cannot get sufficient and effective support from outside the concession, then our goal will be achieved.
People entering and exiting the public concessions must be subject to the most stringent inspections, and suspicious persons must be detained first and interrogated on the spot. Don't be afraid of arresting the wrong person. If you arrest a hundred people, as long as one of them is a Chinese agent, then our goal will be achieved. Leaving the public concession, military commanders will no longer be able to do whatever they want! "
Tian Qi thought about it in his mind and found that Hahara Koichi's plan was indeed very effective.
Maintaining contact within and outside the concession has always been a point that Meng Shaoyuan attaches special importance to!
