Shio Muto is writing his work diary at his desk.
“Although it is not necessary to appoint young overseas scholar Xiao Tu, it is a move that I have planned for a long time.
If you want to rule the land, you must use its people.
I believe that if we want to build a new order in Greater East Asia, we need to start with the young people in Greater East Asia, study the methods of appointment, domestication, and trust in them. Only this new order can last long.
Xiao Tu, who has received the advanced education of the empire and has the great ambition to rejuvenate the country, can be made into useful materials. I will monitor Xiao Tu's every move. If he has any objections, he will be executed immediately! "
When they met at the dock, Muto Shio had his thoughts in mind. Even if Li Jie didn't have Ashikaga's recommendation, Muto would attract other Chinese people. As for his own selfishness, he would certainly not write it down in his work report.
On March 30, 1940, although the previous exchange meeting was destroyed, it did not have much impact on the establishment of the Wang puppet government.
In the past few months, Li Jie has repeatedly passed on key intelligence, helping the underground party and military commanders escape several Japanese raids. Some time ago, the Japanese planned to attack the press. At that time, Li Jie learned of the news and reported it in advance. The organization successfully saved most of the patriots, and the Japanese were alerted. However, Li Jie was not a direct participant in the action, so he was not suspected. On the contrary, a few unlucky ones were accidentally injured.
In Jiren Library, Sun Zhengqing said seriously.
"Recently, under Japan's military pressure and political inducement to surrender, many high-ranking officials in Yamashiro have defected to the enemy!"
Li Jie said: "Is there any organizational plan? Is this mission targeting Wu Mingda, a senior official of the Blue Party who has defected? He will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow. The Wang Puppet Government hosted a banquet to entertain him. Muto sent me to attend as the Japanese representative. "
Sun Zhengqing raised his eyebrows with joy: "Oh? That would be much more convenient. Originally, I was worried about how you would intervene. This Wu Mingda not only has a list of the Blue Party's anti-corruption team, but also a list of Shencheng's underground party. "
After saying that, he handed over a piece of information. Wu Mingda was originally a senior official of the Military Command Bureau. He was the one who established the Shencheng Anti-Corruption Team of the Military Command. He had been operating in Shencheng for many years and had a lot of information about the underground party.
Wu Mingda doesn't really believe in Wang's puppet government yet. This list is his future promotion capital. Of course he will not hand it over directly, but it may not be certain as time goes by.
"The organization wants me to get rid of him?"
Sun Zhengqing shook his head: "We have received news that the Red Party anti-traitor team will carry out an assassination operation at 12 noon tomorrow. Because of your status as a traitor, you may also be their target. You must be careful. If the anti-traitor team fails to assassinate, If you find another chance to get rid of Wu Mingda, this person is too much of a threat."
After Li Jie returned to his residence, he took out the poison that was originally prepared. Even though there was only a few milliliters of poison in the bottle, as long as the silver needle was soaked in it overnight and the poison needle was lightly pricked at Wu Mingda, the opponent would be killed in just a moment. .
The next day, the soaked poison needle is put into a special launching device and tied to the wrist. At that time, the poison needle will be injected into the opponent's body with just a flick of the needle. The poison needle is also specially made and as thin as a cow's hair. It will be difficult to perform an autopsy afterwards. Discover.
At the Shanghai Grand Hotel, the Secret Service Department kept everything inside and outside the hotel watertight, and heavily guarded the commanding heights everywhere to prevent snipers.
At ten o'clock, a convoy of three Ford cars came to the door. Li Feng, the chief of the Secret Service Section, and Hu Yibiao, the captain of the action team, looked at each other.
When Wu Mingda was about to get out of the car, Li Feng waved his hand and asked the members of the Special Service Section to follow him. A human wall was formed at the car door to surround Wu Mingda, and he was escorted all the way into the hotel.
From a commanding height somewhere, Chu Xiong cursed secretly. He didn't expect this traitor to be so cautious. He picked up the sniper rifle in his hand and left cursingly. Lying on the ground were three corpses belonging to the Secret Service Division.
After entering the hotel safely, Wu Mingda looked at Li Feng with admiration.
"I have heard the name of Section Chief Li a long time ago. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. There are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Today's security is in good order. Not bad, not bad."
Li Feng smiled: "Mr. Wu, thank you for the award. This is what I should do. Chairman Wang attaches great importance to the arrival of Chief Wu. Now the situation of the new government is very good. Chief Wu abandons the dark side and joins the bright side. It is the time to make great achievements. With Chief Wu, With the help, I believe that Shanghai’s underground party will be wiped out soon.”
Wu Mingda laughed and didn't answer. He would never reveal his trump card before negotiating the bargaining chips.
Hu Yibiao took a step forward when he saw Wu Mingda looking at Li Jie with confusion.
"Sir Wu, this is Xiao Tu, a senior officer of the Muto Agency."
Li Jie stretched out his hand with a smile: "Hello, Sir Wu, I am Xiao Tu. Consul Wu Teng is busy with official duties, so he sent me to say hello to you!"
Wu Mingda had inquired about the situation in Shencheng before coming. Of course he had heard of Li Jie's name, as he was an important figure in the Wu Teng Mansion.
"Mr. Xiao is young and promising. He will definitely have a bright future in the future!"
Li Jie didn't see Zhuang Xiaoman along the way, which made him a little surprised. She didn't arrive until the banquet started.
Zhuang Xiaoman nodded to Li Feng to indicate that there was no problem, but Li Feng was still worried. The information Wu Mingda had was too critical to allow any mistakes.
After the banquet started, everyone toasted to Wu Mingda, but Li Feng got up uneasy and inspected the venue.
A food delivery truck slowly drove towards the main table. Li Feng felt that the waiter was a bit unfamiliar, so he stopped it with his hand and checked it carefully, but he still felt that something was wrong and couldn't explain it.
When the waiter saw Li Feng standing there without responding, he hurriedly walked away. Li Feng suddenly thought that the weight of the dinner plate cover just now was wrong, too heavy.
He turned around and hurriedly chased after him. When he caught up, he saw the pistol hidden in the cover and shouted loudly.
"Sir Wu, be careful! There is an assassin!"
The special agents sitting on Wu Mingda's side heard the section chief's call and stood up quickly, protecting Wu Mingda behind him.
Zhuang Xiaoman was secretly anxious when he saw this. When Li Feng spoke, the waiter pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger. Unexpectedly, he was caught by Li Feng, and the bullet narrowly avoided Wu Mingda.
Due to the tight protection of the Secret Service Section, only five members of the Juntong Anti-Corruption Team sneaked in. With the first gunshot, like a signal, there was a sudden burst of gunfire. Everyone fell down one after another during the battle between the two sides, and the hall was in chaos.
Li Feng was afraid that Wu Mingda would be injured by a stray bullet, so he shouted while pointing his gun: "Huang Chong, Xu Lin, you two cover Commander Wu's retreat, remember! You must protect Commander Wu's safety!"
Li Jie estimated that the anti-traitor team of the Army was going to be defeated, so he took advantage of the chaos and secretly activated the mechanism. The poisonous needle was fired silently. Wu Mingda only felt a pain in his neck, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. Touching the back of the neck revealed nothing.
