"Report, in our western defense area, a large number of suspicious elements were found frequently moving."
"Yeah?"
Kawamoto Kojiro immediately came to the map and looked at it carefully for a long time: "Is there any movement?"
"No attack has been detected. Our surveillance points have been strengthened to guard against sudden attacks."
Kawamoto Kojiro thought for a while: "No attack."
Once you encounter an enemy attack, immediately take a defensive posture.
No attack allowed!
This is what Hikari Hahara has said time and again.
As long as the four regions can survive successfully, it is a victory!
Then, root firmly in the public concession!
"Let Changdao Kuan, Li Shiqun and Tian Qi prepare for reinforcements!"
"Yes!"
Kawamoto Kojiro looked away from the map and muttered to himself: "Meng Shaoyuan, what do you want to do again?"
He couldn't guess.
Everything Meng Shaoyuan did was always so unexpected.
Everyone is changing, and so is Kawamoto Kojiro.
Since you can't guess, then don't guess.
Wait patiently for the other party to make the first move.
It can be regarded as adaptable or passive defense.
In short, not leaving any loopholes for the other party is the biggest gain.
Meng Shaoyuan!
Kojiro Kawamoto still can't let go of Asa Akagi's death.
He was willing to exchange his own life for Meng Shaoyuan's!
…
"Prepare reinforcements!"
As soon as Nagashima Hiroshi finished speaking, Takeshi Okamura hurried in: "Nagashima-kun, something happened."
"What's up?"
Nagashima Kuan's heart tightened.
"Please come with me and have a look."
What Nagashima Hiro saw was a corpse.
Wearing bunts, he looks like a gang member.
"Just now, a car suddenly stopped in the direction of the gate, dropped the body, and roared away."
Listening to the report, Nagashima Hiroshi's brows knitted together tightly.
What's the meaning?
Whose body is this?
Is the other party demonstrating or trying to express something?
"Immediately find out the identity of this body and guard it tightly. No rash action is allowed without my order."
"Hai!"
Meng Shaoyuan, is that you?
Nagashima Kan looked outside and kept asking himself.
If you did it, are you going to take action?
…
"Director Tian, I heard that there are some situations in both the East and West districts."
"Is it serious? Was there any firefight?"
"No." Zhong Yi said: "A large number of military agents appeared in the west district. In the east district, a body was thrown at the entrance of Changdao Kuan's headquarters."
"knew."
Tian Qi responded lightly.
Has it started yet?
Meng Shaoyuan's attack has begun?
What is he going to do?
How should I cooperate with him?
"Report, there is a detective with several policemen on patrol, saying they want to inspect our place."
Patrol?
Tian Qi was a little dumbfounded. Meng Shaoyuan really did everything he could:
"Hide your weapons and I'll deal with them."
…
Li Shiqun encountered the same dilemma as Tian Qi:
Detective Hong came to the door with several police officers.
He said he had received a tip that there was some dangerous goods hidden here.
Li Shiqun personally received Inspector Hong without much exchange of greetings. Inspector Hong said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, I know that you are a popular figure in front of the Nanjing government and the Japanese. Originally, my brother did not want to disturb you." It's yours, but we received the tip, so we had to think about it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Inspector Hong." Li Shiqun sighed: "Shiqun worked so hard for the peace of the country, so naturally he offended some villains."
Detective Hong said "Oh": "Mr. Li must be carrying a weapon, right?"
This is not nonsense?
"They brought weapons for self-defense." Li Shiqun did not panic: "Inspector Hong probably also knows that Shiqun has many enemies, and there are many people who want to take Shiqun's head, so Shiqun has to be cautious."
"Understood, understood."
Inspector Hong said repeatedly: "But after all, this still violates the laws of the concession, which makes it difficult for brothers to handle."
Li Shiqun winked, and Dou Zhuang, who was newly recruited as his subordinate, immediately entered the back room and came out after a while, taking a stack of money and giving it to Li Shiqun.
"Inspector Hong, the sedan chair is carrying someone." Li Shiqun put the money into Inspector Hong's pocket: "I would like to ask Inspector Hong to show your respect."
Inspector Hong smiled: "Brothers are the most considerate of other people's hardships. However, Mr. Li, let me remind you, never play with a gun and misfire. It will be very difficult for the brothers to deal with it."
"Of course, of course, help me send Detective Hong off."
Dou Zhuang sent Inspector Hong out, and when he came back, Li Shiqun asked, "What do you think?"
Dou Zhuang, the former team leader of the Hangzhou Station of the Military Command Bureau, rebelled under Li Shiqun's coercion and inducement.
This person can be considered a veteran. He is very clear about the procedures of military command, and his methods of doing things are very vicious. He has never shown mercy to his former colleagues. Together with Jiang Bohua, a former rebellious agent of the Central Unification Committee, he became Li Shiqun's right-hand man.
Dou Zhuang had no time to think: "It must be the military commander who is causing trouble there. When I was in Hangzhou, I knew that the Shanghai District of the Military Command would use any means to achieve its goals. And that Meng Shaoyuan, who has good relations with the Ministry of Industry Bureau, is a big troublemaker every year. He gave a lot of money to those directors and directors, so the Ministry of Industry and Commerce turned a blind eye to all military affairs."
"Yes, speaking of it, it is still our own responsibility." Li Shiqun sighed: "Since Japan occupied Shanghai, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce has always adopted a policy of appeasement and concessions. As for Japan, it is high-pressure everywhere. The high-pressure policy is right, but You have to be strong and soft, but the Japanese don't think so.
On the surface, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau is submissive to the Japanese, but there must be dissatisfaction in the heart. Obviously they didn't dare to openly break up with the Japanese, but secretly, with the benefits of military control, they naturally helped them in every possible way. Especially after Kaiwei, the chairman of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau, became a hardliner, their attitude changed drastically. "
"It's a pity that we don't have enough funds." Dou Zhuang smiled bitterly: "We are not as wealthy as the Military Command Bureau. All the funds we use must be allocated from the top, and the monthly funds are limited. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise we can do what they did." Li Shiqun looked a little helpless: "It's meaningless to talk about this now. Help me keep an eye on our smuggling route. This is an important source of supplementary funds."
"Understood. However, if Meng Shaoyuan planned this, what did he want to do?" Dou Zhuang frowned and said, "He must have a purpose."
"I haven't figured it out yet." Li Shiqun said after being silent for a long time: "This is Meng Shaoyuan's usual method. Before a big move, he will definitely use a series of small moves to put our people on strict alert. In any situation, we must take action first. Report to me as soon as possible.”
"yes."
The sky outside was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain.
Shanghai is not peaceful, is a storm coming soon?
