It was a bloody New Year's Eve, and the war started in the afternoon.
This time Meng Shaoyuan did not entertain his subordinates as he did in the past, but just spent New Year's Eve with Wu Jingyi and Yu Yanchu.
Both Wu Jingyi and Yu Yanchu found that Master Meng was obviously not as talkative as before, and he was not even as playful and smiling as before.
"What's wrong? Are you worried?" Wu Jingyi asked.
"It's 1941, the 30th year of the Republic of China." Meng Shaoyuan said in a confused manner.
"What do you mean?" Wu Jingyi and Yu Yanchu were both startled: "What happened in the 30th year of the Republic of China?"
What's wrong?
I can't tell you what's wrong.
Meng Shaoyuan took a sip of wine: "The situation is becoming more and more serious. The Japanese forces have begun to penetrate into the concession crazily and have begun to put crazy pressure on the Ministry of Industry.
Before, we did whatever we wanted in the concession, and the Japanese had nothing to do with us. But starting from this year, this situation will begin to change. "
Yu Yanchu was a little disapproving: "If there is any change, you have already made arrangements in advance. No matter how cruel the Japanese are, you are the King of Shanghai."
King of Shanghai?
Meng Shaoyuan smiled bitterly.
When the Japanese army entered the public concession in large numbers, what ability could I, the King of Shanghai, have to stop them?
On his own, there is no way to fight against an entire army.
However, he could make it impossible for the Japanese troops to live in peace in the public concession.
"How is the situation of the evacuated family members?" Meng Shaoyuan changed the subject and avoided the topic.
"As of the end of last year, those who are willing to evacuate have almost evacuated." Wu Jingyi said: "For those who are unwilling to evacuate, we really have no choice. That is their own choice.
But according to your instructions, those who still have family members in Shanghai, we classified them as Category C agents. "
"What is a Category C agent?" Yu Yanchu asked curiously.
"There is a high possibility of rebellion." Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Mr. Dai stipulated that there should be no relationship between male agents and female agents. I am worried about this..."
Wu Jingyi and Yu Yanchu curled their lips at the same time.
No relationship between male and female agents is allowed?
In the Manchu Army, it is you, Master Meng, who have broken this rule the most thoroughly.
"I am strong-willed and calm." Probably Master Meng also noticed their disdain and said bravely: "Assuming that once the Japanese army takes control of the concession one day, this situation is very likely to happen... ...Yu Yanchu, if the Japanese put a gun to the head of your loved one and threatened you to surrender, what would you do?"
"Never surrender."
"What if it's the person you're closest to? Like me?"
"shameless."
Yu Yanchu cursed, but then fell into silence.
What if the Japanese pointed a gun at the person closest to you?
Yu Yanchu knew that he would not surrender, but he would definitely be sad, confused, and even shaken.
Agents are also human beings and have their own emotions and desires.
"These people are Category C agents." Meng Shaoyuan continued: "Let's talk about an individual. We have a veteran agent named He Yinquan in Shanghai. He is diligent and hardworking. He was married before joining the organization. He has both parents and a very happy wife. Xian Hui also has four children, three girls and one son.
After finishing work every day, he goes home to spend time with his wife and children. He has no bad habits. Neither his wife nor parents were willing to leave Shanghai for this evacuation. He personally applied to Secretary Wu, who also approved it. But I can be sure that if the Japanese army enters the concession one day, he will definitely rebel! "
Yu Yanchu understood.
If the Japanese army really took control of the public concession, He Yinquan and his entire family would fall into the hands of the Japanese, who would kill his parents, his wife, and his four children in front of him.
What choice will he make?
Most people don't have the courage to watch their entire family die in front of them.
This is human nature.
"In that case." Yu Yanchu asked again, "Why not remove him from his post now?"
"Withdrawn?"
Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Why should I find any reason to remove him? I said to him, He Yinquan, because you don't want your family to evacuate Shanghai, you were removed from your post. Do you think they will be happy with it?"
Therefore, I can only ask Wu Jingyi to classify and label such people as Category C agents. People like He Yinquan are also marked as extremely dangerous among Category C agents. "
This kind of danger does not mean how terrible this person is.
Rather, he may rebel at any time and betray the interests of the organization.
The measures taken are to prevent him from being exposed to the organization's secrets as much as possible from now on, and to have as few confidential missions as possible.
"During today's operation, I specially recruited He Yinquan." Meng Shaoyuan sighed: "Really, I really hope that a bullet from the Japanese will kill him, so that he will at least be a martyr and can still be taken at home. receive a large pension.
But he was so lucky that not a single hair on his head fell out. It's not that he is timid, he acted very bravely and charged forward. At that time, I looked at his back and kept saying what a pity in my heart.
Such a brave and experienced agent is very likely to rebel in the future, and may even be raped by me myself. What do you think I will think when that happens? "
Yu Yanchu was silent for a while and said: "Maybe it's not as serious as you think... Maybe He Yinquan won't be exposed... What about a Category A agent? What is a Category A agent?"
"Category A agents are the elite of the Shanghai District. I am the Tianzi No. 1 agent in the Shanghai District."
Meng Shaoyuan responded without hesitation: "This is not shameless. I always carry a gun and a bottle of poison when I go out. Have you seen my collar?"
He showed it to Yu Yanchu in particular: "I have a highly toxic potassium cyanide hidden in my collar. If I were surrounded, I really wouldn't have the courage to shoot myself to death. Another possibility is that the Japanese raided Me, I don’t even have a chance to commit suicide.
If it really gets to that point, this poison will work. I just need to bite it and I will die within a few seconds without any pain at all. Damn it, I am really a genius! "
This time, Yu Yanchu did not despise Master Meng's idea of being the "Tianzi No. 1 Agent" at all.
Category A agents, the most dangerous type of agents.
Once this kind of agent falls into the hands of the enemy and confesses, the damage to the organization will be extremely huge, and even the entire district will be destroyed.
Meng Shaoyuan had long been prepared to commit suicide.
"The situation is not as serious as you said." Wu Jingyi said softly: "You always have a way, nothing can trouble you, right?"
"You always have a way", this seems to have become Wu Jingyi's mantra. But she didn't know that it would be really difficult for Master Meng to come up with a good solution for the future situation!
