Okamura Takeshi's sudden visit means that the Japanese control of the public concession has been fully accelerated!
This time, Takeshi Okamura was both a inducement and a threat to Meng Shaoyuan.
They did not expect Meng Shaoyuan to really surrender.
But as long as he shows the slightest hesitation, it is an opportunity for the Japanese.
In this sense, the Japanese are already at the end of their rope.
In the public settlement, as long as Meng Shaoyuan is still there, he is a threat to the Japanese.
However, Meng Shaoyuan gave the Japanese the feeling that they were invulnerable to weapons and oil and salt.
It was even difficult for Takeshi Okamura to capture the changes in Meng Shaoyuan.
It is also a useless effort.
Do you want to capture the inner fluctuations of a psychology master?
"I've always been sad."
When he heard Okamura Takeshi's report, Habara Hikaru sighed: "In an era like this, why did I meet Meng Shaoyuan?"
There is so much sadness and helplessness in this sentence.
Nagashima Hiroshi's death was too exciting for Koichi Hahara.
Until now, he couldn't accept it.
As the captain of the special forces team, Manjing Hangshu didn't understand the secret service, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
Tian Qi, who accompanied Hanbara Koichi into the public concession, said nonchalantly: "In intelligence work, there are always winners and losers."
"Really?" Hahara Koichi laughed at himself: "I know there will always be winners and losers, but now it seems that we are always losing."
At this point, I felt that speaking these words in front of so many companions would shake the morale: "Okay, this time we were ordered to enter the concession for two main purposes. The first is to ensure the military discipline of the gendarmerie. Let what happened before happen again.”
"Please rest assured, Lord Hahara." Takeshi Okamura was full of confidence: "I have strictly restrained my subordinates, and I will do my best for the benefit of the empire."
"Very good, I trust you, Okamura-kun." Hanbara Hikaru said expressionlessly: "Entering the concession and controlling the concession are completely different concepts. I don't think I need to elaborate on the importance of the concession to Shanghai.
The second purpose of my visit is to study how to firmly control the concession in our hands. Everyone, the current situation is very different from the past.
In the past, the advantage was with the enemy, but now, the advantage is with me! "
From this point of view, Hahara Koichi's mind is relatively calm and clear.
In the past, Meng Shaoyuan was good at dancing with ease.
But things are different now.
Now, the British and American authorities have nothing to worry about and are taking the initiative to gradually give up control of the public concessions.
Once he loses the support of the concession authorities, the difficulties Meng Shaoyuan will face will be extremely huge.
After all, the concession is just an "isolated island".
This isolated island is surrounded by wolf-like Japanese troops!
"Tightly fortify the docks, stations, etc., and never allow Meng Shaoyuan to leave Shanghai." Koichi Hahara immediately said: "We have to set up a dragnet in the concession. If Meng Shaoyuan doesn't leave now, there will be no chance to leave in the future!"
"yes!"
Tian Qi sat there and lit a cigarette.
The situation is serious!
It is already very difficult for Meng Shaoyuan to leave Shanghai at this time.
"Secondly, how to quickly stabilize the settlement in the concession." Hahara Koichi continued: "As we all know, most of the Chinese people in the concession are not friendly to us. And we, for a long time in the future, will Live with them.
Shanghai is the financial center of the Far East. Chaos can happen anywhere, but Shanghai cannot. Not only must there be no chaos, but we must maintain consistent stability and prosperity!
According to the plan formulated by His Excellency Ying Zuo, while continuing to maintain relations with the Chinese people who are friendly to the empire, it is necessary to win over most of the remaining Chinese people and let them change their views on the empire. "
"Your Excellency Hahara, that's what you said, but if you want to actually implement it, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Takeshi Okamura said with some worries: "We have tried it in the past, but the effect was not particularly satisfactory.
However, those Chinese people who actively cooperated with the empire were kidnapped, intimidated, and assassinated by the Military Command Bureau, which made them very afraid. "
"These are all difficult factors, but we are here to solve the difficulties." Koichi Hahara didn't seem to care particularly: "The most important thing now is to let the Chinese people in the concession recognize the fact that the concession must The situation has changed. The island can no longer protect them. The only one who can protect them is us!
We should treat them as kindly as possible, minimize violence, and avoid provoking large-scale resistance. Those who have cooperated with us in the past but are still hesitant to wait and see, we must win them at all costs. These people are the core of our future rule of the concession. "
Tian Qi didn't speak, and was listening carefully all the time.
Everything is changing.
The Japanese are changing too.
They become more cunning and insidious.
But one thing has never changed:
Use China to control China!
What he is most worried about now is Meng Shaoyuan.
Meng Shaoyuan had arranged retreat plans for many people, including himself.
But he only failed to arrange an retreat plan for himself.
Tian Qi knew that Meng Shaoyuan must have no retreat plan.
Even if the whole of Shanghai falls, he will still be needed to guard here.
Unless there is an order from a superior.
But the order? Will Dai Li give him a retreat order?
"Tian-san." Hahara Koichi suddenly looked at Tian Qi: "You need to assist us. Your main responsibility is to closely monitor the military commander's activities in Shanghai, prevent their destruction, and take on the responsibility of protecting those Chinese people who are friendly to the empire. responsibilities.”
"OK."
Tian Qi replied calmly.
"Everyone, this is an operation personally commanded by Lord Kagezu." Koichi Hahara emphasized this point: "The stability of Shanghai plays a vital role in the entire empire's strategy in China. Especially you. , Okamura-kun.
As the commander of the Concession Gendarmerie, you have even greater responsibilities. Mr. Nagashima has pledged his allegiance to the Empire. I understand the sadness in your heart at this moment, but please put away these sorrows. Everything is for the Empire! "
"Everything, for the Empire!"
Okamura Takeshi said in a deep voice.
In fact, compared to Meng Shaoyuan, the person he hated more in his heart was Li Shiqun!
If it hadn't been for Li Shiqun, his brother would not have died.
However, he also knows the importance of Chinese people like Li Shiqun and Tian Qi to Japan.
But at this time, Tian Qi suddenly discovered something.
Where is Li Shiqun?
Why didn't Li Shiqun come to this meeting?
He wanted to ask, but didn't.
"Okay, everyone, let's start taking action." Koichi Hahara stood up: "Tian-san, you are with me, everything is for the ultimate benefit of the empire!"
