This is just the first step in the so-called "Summer Plan" formulated by Koichi Hahara.
It is also an effective step.
Hahara Koichi then continued: "After initially stabilizing the contact between Chinese agents inside and outside the concession, I decided to divide the public concession into four areas. The east area is commanded by Nagashima Hiroshi, the west area is commanded by Kawamoto Kojiro, and the north area is It is commanded by Mr. Li Shiqun, and the southern area is commanded by Mr. Tian Qi.
Our measures for the tasks in these four areas are passive defense! "
Passive defense?
Everyone was startled.
"Most of the time before, we took the initiative." Hahara Koichi said slowly: "No matter how perfect the plan is, there will definitely be various problems during the implementation process. And our enemies are You can observe us carefully, find our flaws, and give us a fatal blow.
In Chinese terms, we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark. Now, I decided to do the opposite and defend passively, waiting for our enemy to make the first move. This means that the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark! "
"Your Excellency Yuhara," Li Zhiqun said, "Doing this will indeed help us make fewer mistakes and avoid being caught by the military commander, but will it be too passive?"
"What Mr. Li Shiqun mentioned is exactly what I want to say next." Han Yuanguang smiled and said: "We have set up four areas in the public concession. This is what the military commander does not want to see, especially Meng Shaoyuan, who has set up four areas in the public concession. The concession is regarded as his own back garden. He will not tolerate our large-scale entry into the concession, so he will definitely take necessary actions.
As for us, behind passive defense, there are four words: proactive attack. This proactive attack is not to implement a large-scale plan, but to attack sporadically. Once an opportunity is discovered, a small force will be used to fight. If we can seize the opportunity, that would be great. If things don’t go your way, terminate the plan immediately. Although we return without success, we will not suffer too much loss.
Not every such small attack will fail, there will always be one or two times that it succeeds. Let me quote another Chinese saying, accumulate small victories into big victories. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a very famous strategy of building high walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king. I deeply believe that we can also adopt such a strategy in Shanghai.
Little by little, slowly and with extreme patience, we have solidified our foundation in the public concession. It will be very difficult for the enemy to shake us again. How to lay a solid foundation? Use these sporadic attacks to take advantage of the enemy's tiredness to stabilize their pace and take root in the public concession.
I think that in order to deal with such a new situation, the enemy will most likely take the initiative to drive us out. When responding, be able to avoid battles, find ways to avoid battles, and not give the enemy a chance..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "We all know that Meng Shao was originally the most powerful agent on the surface. In China's intelligence community, he is a god-like figure..."
The venue was suddenly filled with whispers.
This evaluation is too high.
Doesn't this boost the enemy's ambition and destroy one's own prestige?
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Yingzuo Zhenzhao made the venue quiet again: "Why can't we admit the strength of the enemy? I hate all enemies, especially Meng Shaoyuan. But I respect this enemy. Since he appeared in Shanghai, we have suffered repeated defeats. One of us Why can't we call an enemy God if we can't defeat him?
What should we do? Absorb the enemy's strengths, use the enemy's strengths to attack the enemy, and finally pull him off the altar! "
"The words of the agency director are exactly what I want to say." Koichi Hahara was full of confidence at this moment: "Meng Shaoyuan's miraculous performance, as of now, no one among us is his opponent. But he is only one person, Others will make mistakes, and they will make mistakes. Once the enemy repeatedly fails, they will become impetuous, and they will have flaws.
Everyone, this is our opportunity. The purpose of setting up these four areas is to constantly look for problems that may exist or have already arisen with the enemy during the confrontation with the military commanders, and then carry out key strikes after seizing them. One hit will kill you, if unsuccessful, hide away from the enemy and start all over again. "
One hit will kill you, if unsuccessful, hide away from the enemy and start all over again.
Tian Qi silently recited these words in his heart.
It seems timid and cowardly, but this is the most effective method.
"I will give the specific defense areas of these four areas to the four commanders later." Habara Hikaru glanced at Nagashima Hiroshi and several others: "And I will personally take command. If any party needs my assistance, I will They will do their best to provide help. As for you? Mr. Li Shiqun, Mr. Tian Qi."
The two men stood up.
Habara Koichi was silent for a moment, and then bowed deeply to them.
"Your Excellency Hahara, what are you doing?"
Hahara Koichi slowly stood up: "We all know that there is a conflict between the Intelligence Headquarters and the Secret Service Headquarters, but the significance this time is no more than before. I hope you two can look out for the sake of the Empire of Japan and Mr. Wang Jingwei Please put aside your grievances for the time being and join hands to fight against the enemy. This is my request. Please agree to it."
To actually do something like this?
This was something neither Li Shiqun nor Tian Qi expected.
"I will remember what Mr. Hahara said." Li Shiqun took the lead to express his position: "My special agent headquarters will do its best to assist the completion of the 'Xia Plan'. All special supplies under me are ready. If Director Tian needs my help, , I will be obligated to personally bring my agents for reinforcements!"
"Thank you, Mr. Li Shiqun." Koichi Hahara's eyes fell on his good friend Tian Qi: "Director Tian, what about you?"
Tian Qi said calmly: "My daughter has a nice Japanese name. My heart belongs to Japan. The blood of the empire flows in my body. The victory of the empire is my victory. The honor of the empire , better than my life!”
After saying these words, even Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun couldn't help but cursed in their hearts.
We are all so-called traitors, but traitors and traitors are still different.
Traitors like Tian Qi can no longer be described as shameless.
However, Hahara Koichi was overjoyed: "As long as we unite as one, the final victory will definitely belong to us. Mr. Tian, Mr. Li Shiqun, thank you."
"I also want to thank you." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said at this time: "The elites of Shanghai's intelligence community are all here today. I believe that with your help, a new situation in Shanghai will soon open up. Everyone, please!”
The head of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai also stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.
A new situation will soon begin in Shanghai!
