On Sunday night, Wang Yan once again drove to the vicinity of the consulate to attend the victory reception for the North China battlefield organized by the Japanese consulate.
The difference is that today's cocktail party is not at the same venue as last time, but at another place. The offices of the consulate are upstairs. This is also normal. Except for the Public Concession and the French Concession, the Japanese occupied all places in Shanghai. They had many places to choose from.
Of course, the main reason is that the plot requires...
Wang Yan knew very well that at today's cocktail party, Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun would steal the consulate's information about the deployment of troops in the third theater. This was the key to the plot.
This is a true and false psychological game. The Japanese intelligence in the third theater was stolen. If Mingtai was not exposed, then maybe there would be no death plan. After all, the Third War Zone has obtained real intelligence, whether it is calculated mentally or not, it will still be a victory. But Mingtai was exposed. Although they did not take the original intelligence directly, but used a spy camera to capture it, if this happened, there must be risks, so the original plan would have to be overturned and other plans would be activated.
Correspondingly, if the secret acquisition of intelligence fails, then the third theater will also formulate a fake attack and defense plan and continue to implement the death plan.
Of course, there is another situation where the information stolen by Mingtai is for filing, so there is another way to deal with it. In practice, there is no chain-linked plan. Because the variables caused by human factors are too large, it is impossible to follow a certain trajectory like a puppet on strings. Most people don't have the brains to study the so-called plan. It would be nice to think about the next step. For some geniuses, after just two or three steps, it's almost the end.
Even if Wang Yan has experienced so much, the plan he makes when he wants to study others is just one or two steps in advance. Most of the time, he only takes one step, that is, making a start, then observing the development of the situation, and slowly guiding people or things to good or bad situations step by step. He couldn't plan it step by step and then develop it as he wanted. That was impossible.
Wang Yan wasn't very concerned about this action plan related to the third theater of war, because it had nothing to do with him, he couldn't get involved, and there was no need to get involved. After all, when he didn't come, the execution was quite good and the results were great.
Today he came on his own. The Wang Puppet Government has been established in Nanjing, and the activities of all parties have suddenly intensified.
Because a relative like Wang Furui died, Wang Manchun turned his grief into strength and worked hard to arrest people from both parties.
Minglou is even more busy with economic affairs in various places. After all, he is not only the economic secretary of Shanghai, he is also involved in the economic affairs of the entire Wang puppet government. It's just that because Shanghai accounts for a larger share of the economy, work basically revolves around Shanghai.
Of course, the more likely reason is that Minglou knows that Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun are going to take action tonight, but Mingtai still doesn't know his identity. Moreover, his appearance will also draw attention to Mingtai, a transparent person who no one cares about, leading to the failure of the operation. So no matter whether he has something to do or whether he is really busy, he will not come.
The reason why Wang Yan came here was because the whole of Shanghai knew that he was very leisurely and lived what many people thought was a fairy life, majestic, enjoyable and happy. So when faced with the invitation from the Japanese, it was hard for him to refuse, otherwise he would not be giving face...
After showing the invitation, Wang Yan smiled and greeted everyone along the way, and went straight to the corner where the food was placed. Even though he had already had dinner, he still ate there selectively.
"Mr. Wang still has such a good appetite, it seems that every time we hold a party, you are enjoying the food in the corner." Nantian Yoko came over with a smile, holding a wine glass.
"My identity is rather embarrassing. We have communicated with many people in private, and there is probably no need to get to know those who we have not communicated with. In order not to cause trouble for myself or others, I have already heard enough of those flatteries, and It’s not interesting. On the contrary, it’s better to enjoy good food and wine and be happy.”
"You are right, only you can be in a good mood to enjoy food and wine."
"Actually, I'm not much better than the people here. We all have our own difficulties. It's just that I look more relaxed." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, then asked, "Section Chief Nantian also seems to be in a very good mood. , the recent action against the Japanese elements was successful?"
"How can there be a victory in this kind of thing? Even if the two parties surrender, our special higher education will not have a day of victory, let alone now. Because of the establishment of the new government, the anti-Japanese elements of the two parties hidden in Shanghai The actions have become even more rampant, assassinating friendly people who have surrendered to the Japanese Empire, stealing confidential information, and causing Shanghai to never have peace."
"It's true. As the chief inspector of the French Concession's police station, Wang has to collect ten or eight corpses every morning in the dark alleys with no one in my small jurisdiction, and they are hacked to death. , were shot to death, punched, kicked and beaten to death, too many. Section Chief Nantian has a huge responsibility, and it is really hard work."
Wang Yan said beautiful words and held up a wine glass to invite him to drink.
"You are really good at talking. This is all my responsibility. I can't say it's hard work. I respect you." Minami Yoko was modest, but her grin revealed her good mood. She has a good sense of Wang Yan, whether it is his current status, past life experience, or his sensible attitude. The most important thing is that he sends her some financial gifts from time to time. She likes such smart people very much.
Otherwise, Wang Yan would really go behind the scenes to cause trouble for them, which would be really hard to deal with. After all, even with Wang Yan's status in 1938, he couldn't be killed so easily. At that time, Wang Yan was already very powerful. Although they were domineering, they also had to pay attention to methods in doing things. After all, they want to rule, not just grab a vote and run away. With Wang Yan's status and the resources and power he controls, it is very easy to cause damage.
Fortunately, Wang Yan has no country or nation. He only wants to make money steadily and live a peaceful life...
After drinking a glass of wine with Wang Yan, Minami Yoko didn't stay long. She said some kind words and left. She just came to say hello. When she has nothing to do, she hangs around in front of Wang Yan's eyes, looking for a sense of presence, so that Wang Yan doesn't forget her benefits.
Of course Wang Yan understood what this Japanese bitch meant, but unfortunately, this might be the last time he and Yoko Minami would meet. This dignified female colonel of the Japanese Army, the section chief of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course, went out with only two subordinates, fell into the trap designed by Minglou, and was shot dead by Mingtai...
People wandered around for a while, and everyone who was supposed to be here came and started the cocktail party. A senior Japanese official spoke with a microphone in front, wishing victory in the North China battlefield. Of course he was talking about the war in North China. Over there is the second theater belonging to Yan Xishan. The Japanese here are wishing victory, so naturally the situation is not good. Moreover, there was the uproarous Shanxi Incident before. The Kuomintang set off an anti-communist upsurge and was too busy engaging in internal fighting to deal with the Japanese.
And on the other hand, Yan Xishan's current attitude is not clear, and he is secretly colluding with the Japanese. If the Eighth Route Army hadn't been watching over there, if the Pacific War hadn't broken out, and if Japan hadn't become a strong foreign power, Yan Xishan would have been the second greatest traitor after Wang Zhaoming. Wang Zhaoming is number one because he is number one. Yan Xishan's second place would be a bit humiliating, but he had no choice but to be the second best.
After all, he is different from Wang Zhaoming. He is a real warlord, with 200,000 Jinsui troops under his command. This is the result of streamlining the establishment. In addition, he also commands a large number of civilian armed organizations, which can fight if they are drawn out, totaling 240,000 to 560,000. Moreover, in its own territory, there is still a certain amount of industrial construction and a certain amount of industrial production capacity. It is a serious bureaucratic capital group and very wealthy. Therefore, he is much more powerful than Wang Zhaoming. This is real military power and industry.
To be honest, if he had really joined the Japanese, his life would have been much better than that of Wang Zhaoming. Again, he holds real military power.
Of course, this is an ideal state. After all, among the more than 200,000 people, there are always some passionate people, and the power of their gathering to mutiny cannot be ignored. This is what Yan Xishan can think of, so he dare not move...
Senior Japanese officials took turns to speak, allowing the Japanese and Chinese present to see the great situation in Japan. Let the Japanese believe that their Empire of Japan has unlimited possibilities, give them a boost and increase their motivation. It also made the Chinese people believe that they would have a bright future by following their Japanese empire. It also warned the Chinese people not to make small moves behind their backs, which was both encouragement and deterrence.
After they spoke, the so-called victory reception officially began. As soft and soothing music played, the men and women in the venue danced ballroom dances, and there were always Japanese people who were getting close to each other while holding wine glasses, and Chinese people who were holding wine glasses and nodding and groveling everywhere.
Of course, some Japanese people nodded and bowed, but because it was their home field and they had that dedicated spirit, they looked okay. Only the Chinese are here, pretending to smile and flattering, which makes them look particularly disgusting.
Wang Yan didn't want to get involved with that much, just let people know that others were here. When the reception officially started, he had already returned to his previous position and continued to eat and drink. After a while, he was full and drank enough. After meeting everyone he needed to see, he left and went home.
"Wang Sang always has such a good appetite, it's really enviable." Iwai Hideichi, holding a wine glass, followed by his entourage, and Zhou Fuhai by his side, took the initiative to find Wang Yan to chat.
"Mr. Iwai." Wang Yan nodded, said hello, and said, "I just have good teeth and a good appetite. I still remember the year before last, you asked me if I was used to eating Japanese food. Now you Look, I am very happy eating."
He pointed to the various plates with a lot of food on one side, showing the results he had made during the time he had been at the reception.
"Very good, Wang Sang, I saw you right. Zhou Sang...oh, I'm sorry, I forgot. You originally studied in Japan, so you must be very accustomed to Japanese food."
Zhou Fuhai laughed and said, "Yes, I am better than Mr. Wang in this aspect. When I went to Japan to eat the most authentic Kanto cuisine with friends at the beginning of the year, I fell in love with it the first time."
Laughing, Wang Yan asked: "The new government has just been established for a month, and there are a lot of things. Shouldn't Mr. Zhou be in Nanjing at this time? Why are you back in Shanghai?"
"It's nothing. It's just some work matters. It's just because the piles are piled up. The instructions on the telegram are unclear and the instructions on the phone are unsafe. I have no choice but to run back and forth."
"Oh, that was really hard work. Eat more quickly, the food at the consulate never disappoints."
This place is never a place for talking about serious things. It's all about talking, expressing closeness, and just dealing with it. While Wang Yan was dealing with them, he looked towards the field. On the opposite side, Mingtai, who was dressed very energetically in a suit and dress, stood with Cheng Jinyun, who was wearing a black dress, talking and laughing.
Although Mingtai was teasing and joking, his eyes kept scanning the scene, and while he was talking, his words suddenly stopped.
Cheng Jinyun noticed something strange and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
She followed Mingtai's gaze and her eyes suddenly tightened. Iwai Eiichi, Zhou Fuhai, and Wang Yan were sitting on the sofa in the corner chatting. What made her heart skip a beat was that Wang Yan's deep eyes were looking in the direction of the two of them.
She blinked, and when she looked over, she found that everything was as usual. Wang Yan was still talking and laughing with a smile on his face, as if he hadn't looked at them just now.
"Is that...Wang Yan?"
"yes!"
"Did he just look at us?"
Mingtai swallowed and answered with difficulty: "Yes!"
"Why are you so nervous? He's just looking at us. He doesn't know us. But don't tell me, he is indeed a famous Qinggang tycoon. His glance just now made me shudder."
At this time, Cheng Jinyun only knew that Mingtai's family must be very rich, otherwise they would not be able to develop such a dissolute and cynical temperament, but she did not know that Mingtai's identity was the young master of the Ming family. In fact, even if she knew about Mingtai's young master, she might not have imagined that Wang's Mansion was adjacent to Ming's Mansion, that Wang Yan knew Minglou, and had even met Mingtai twice.
Mingtai let out a sigh of relief: "He knows me."
"So he has recognized you?" Cheng Jinyun suddenly turned his head, suppressing his emotions and trying to keep a smile on his face, "Does that mean you have been exposed? Our operation can't continue?"
Mingtai didn't say anything and was silent for a long time. Seeing the Japanese girl he met when he went to collect information appeared in front of him, he gritted his teeth and drank all the wine in the glass: "No matter what, just follow the original plan." . No matter what, we must get the information today. If you miss this time, you will never have such a good opportunity in the future. Don’t worry, Wang Yan only knows me, not you. If something happens, he will turn me in. If it doesn't happen, I'll be the one to die. You must get the information and give it to the military through your channels."
"But……"
"It's nothing, you can't miss the opportunity, and you won't get it again. Although I'm not ready to die, as long as my death is worthwhile, I'm not afraid!" Mingtai said very forcefully, without giving Cheng Jinyun a chance to speak again, and went straight to that Japanese girls walked over...
Cheng Jinyun had no time to stop him, so she had to take a deep breath, glanced at Wang Yan again, and then moved quickly, looking for a suitable target for her to attack.
They had planned in advance to find a Japanese man of some rank to drug them, and when the attention of everyone in the venue was attracted, they sneaked upstairs...
Iwai Eiichi and Zhou Fuhai talked to Wang Yan for a while, and like Minami Yoko, they said polite words and asked Wang Yan to eat, drink and have fun before leaving together.
Wang Yan was left alone to sit there eating and drinking, dealing with people who occasionally claimed to be qualified, or who didn't have enough power to get close to him. Other than that, he just sat there and looked at Cheng Jinyun walking around in the field.
After all, Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun were already taking action, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. Let's leave now, it's too abrupt. Let's leave later, they've taken action. I have no choice but to just watch the excitement.
Of course Cheng Jinyun also noticed Wang Yan's observation, but she pretended not to see it. She is not a fool. Wang Yan will not order her until she knows her identity. If she is the military commander, she will offend Dai Yunong; if she is a red party member, she will offend the God of Wealth. In this regard, Wang Yan's reputation is very secure.
The 'but' she wanted to tell Mingtai before was this. She wanted to prevent Mingtai from having any desire to die, but in the end, Mingtai insisted that he was not afraid of death and looked at death as if he were at home. She had no chance to explain again...
Under Wang Yan's silent gaze, within a short while, a Japanese lieutenant colonel foamed at the mouth, curled up on the ground and twitched, immediately attracting the attention of the crowd. Taking this opportunity, Cheng Jinyun sneaked up to the stairs and met Mingtai, who had followed the Japanese girl upstairs. This was the beginning of their feat of still brewing an ambiguous atmosphere in the midst of a life-and-death crisis.
In the venue, the Japanese methodically found someone to come over and rescue the man who fell to the ground. They diagnosed that he had eaten something bad earlier, reassured Yoko Minamada, and then left the venue on a stretcher and sent him to the hospital.
The music was playing again and the atmosphere had not long returned to liveliness. It had only been six or seven minutes since the previous Japanese lieutenant colonel fell to the ground. Amidst the feasting and feasting, a loud gunshot was heard.
In an instant, people in the field became confused and fled in all directions. Then the Japanese military police who heard the gunshots and rushed over blocked the door and were not allowed to leave. At the same time, Nantian Yoko immediately led people to rush upstairs.
Wang Yan did not panic, and even the sudden sound of gunshots did not make him blink. He crossed his legs, shook the glass, and tasted it.
What was thinking in their minds was that Cheng Jinyun was posing with a gun upstairs. After the disaster in Mingtai, the two of them still had the time to chat.
Didn't you see how fast Minami Yoko's legs were flying? She wished she could fly upstairs, but she couldn't catch Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun.
The two of them could even sit on the roof of the building, enjoying the cool breeze, looking at the night sky, chatting about their feelings...
