The Japanese occupied the public concession and although they still killed some people, they did not harass civilians on a large scale. Those who died could only say that they were unlucky...
Of course this makes no sense, why wasn’t you the one who died? But there is nothing we can do.
This time Japan occupied the public concession, which was much better than all the things it had done before. The main reason is that to this day, it is no longer necessary to say how ferocious the Japanese are, and the poor people are as honest as little sheep. The bustling public concession in the past seemed to have lost a lot of excitement immediately, and it was not as busy as before.
On the contrary, the French Concession was much more lively. In the area under the jurisdiction of the central patrol house, hundreds of people died during the night for three consecutive days. The same was true for several other police houses. The death toll was significantly higher than usual. All told, in just three days, thousands of people died in the French Concession. There are old people, children, men and women.
This is due to a struggle for survival between the sudden influx of a large number of refugees who have no assets in the French Concession and the refugees who originally accumulated in the French Concession. After all, the French Concession is so big and its resources are actually limited. In the past, all parties and industries had maintained a relatively stable state. Nowadays, a large number of people from all religions and professions pouring in from the public concessions naturally compete with them in order to survive.
In addition, during this period, the situation was unstable, the various forces secretly competed, and the intelligence personnel of the various parties secretly clashed, all of which were deadly.
However, as an upper-class carnivore, this had no impact on Wang Yan at all. Not to mention that he died three hundred people, even if he died a thousand people, people probably just lamented the turmoil of the current situation and the difficulty of the world, and did not raise any doubts about his ability to move. Because among these people, there is not a single foreign devil, they are all Chinese who are trying to save their own lives. As long as it is controlled within a certain range and the impact is controlled, no one will care.
The progress of Japan's war in China was not very ideal, and it was also very anxious to fight the United States on the Pacific battlefield, but in Southeast Asia, it was invincible. Every day, battle reports of where the Japanese troops had conquered came back and spread among the Japanese troops on Chinese soil, proclaiming their long-term military destiny. mow
"Wang Sang, this is the latest battle report from Southeast Asia. Take a look."
In the tea room of Iwai Mansion, Eiichi Iwai picked up the top one from the pile of documents on the table and handed it over.
Wang Yan put down his tea cup in response, took the document and looked through it.
Although this folder is big, there are only two pieces of paper in it, which are translated messages. The biggest feature of telegrams in these years is that they are short. Use the fewest words to say the most. When he contacted the leader himself, he tried to be as concise as possible. It's not that he can't send telegrams. After all, the radio station is his own. He also has batteries that are listed as contraband and are extremely difficult to obtain. The main reason is the efficiency of communication.
He looked carefully and saw on the first thin piece of paper, it was written "On April 6th, Luzon was conquered." The second piece of paper contains the detailed process of sorting out the post-war events.
Obviously, the first piece of paper was in clear code and was for the two parties and other parties to see. The second one is encrypted and cannot be leaked for the time being, because it involves the specific location and military deployment of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. This is a high-level military secret.
He didn't linger on the second piece of paper, just glanced at it and closed the folder. From the beginning of his acquaintance with Eiichi Iwai, he had always been careless about these documents, avoiding them whenever he could. mow
Moreover, Luzon was too far away from China, and the news of Japan's victory was of little value to him. To say that it is valuable, it is to understand some of the current situation of Japan in Southeast Asia, especially Japan. Because Japan is now fighting on three fronts: China is fighting the two parties, Southeast Asia is fighting its colonies, and the Pacific is fighting with countries led by the United States.
By knowing as much as possible about these situations, we can judge Japan's actual military strength, material transportation direction, estimate the general economic situation, etc. After all, war is about comprehensive national strength. There is a big soldier in front, and a line starting from this big soldier runs through the overall situation of Japan. In a highly obedient and unified army, the individual is the whole.
But Wang Yan didn't need to look at these things. He closed his eyes and compiled them, and then estimated the time to send them to Chongqing.
What he was more concerned about was that the second folder on the pile of documents on the table read "North China Front Mopping Up Plan" on the cover. The North China Front is the collective name for Japan's troops in North China. It goes without saying that the meaning of this document is to carry out a raid on the Red Party troops operating in North China. This is important information.
Eiichi Iwai didn't know Wang Yan's situation. All he saw was that Wang Yan looked at the first page, paused for a moment, and then simply flipped through the second page, looked at the head-up overview, and closed it. folder.
Under Eiichi Iwai's smiling gaze, Wang Yan looked at a Japanese sitting not far away. This man was also short in stature, but he was thin and had a pair of triangular eyes. He looked at people with a straight eye, giving people the feeling of a hawk looking at a wolf. Wearing the uniform of a military commander, this person is none other than the new Super High School Section Chief, Kosuke Kitagawa.
Wang Yan waved the folder in his hand and said, "Section Chief Beichuan."
"Thank you Wang Sang, I don't have to. I already knew it before you came."
Wang Yan nodded, handed the document to Eiichi Iwai, and sighed: "The Empire of Japan is really invincible. In just five months, it has conquered a large area of Southeast Asia, and it has also conquered the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. and British coalition forces have abandoned their armor, and it seems that the realization of *** is just around the corner."
Iwai Eiichi laughed. He knew that Wang Yan was flattering, and Wang Yan also knew that he knew that Wang Yan was flattering. Not only that, Wang Yan actually knew a lot of Japan's internal problems. Saying this was like farting, but he just Like to listen. Because the flattering words spoken by a Chinese with Wang Yan's status always make people feel relaxed and happy. Another person like Wang Yan is Zhou Fuhai.
"Wang Sang, you have made the right choice a long time ago, haven't you? You have a share in the co-prosperity of Greater East Asia."
"I need Mr. Iwai's support and Section Chief Kitagawa's care."
Iwai Eiichi nodded with a smile, and Kitagawa Kosuke said: "Speaking of this, Wang Sang, there is something I want to ask you, and I hope you can tell the truth."
Wang Yan fiddled with the tea set and poured tea for the two little devils: "Of course, Section Chief Beichuan, please tell me."
"How much do you know about Minglou's sister?"
"To be honest, I don't know much about the Ming family. I just have a good relationship with Ming Lou. After all, he is in charge of economics, and I am a businessman. Mr. Iwai knows best about the past of my relationship with Ming Lou. . Section Chief Beichuan, if you have anything to say, please just tell me."
Kitagawa Kosuke first thanked Wang Yan for pouring him tea, and then said: "That's it, half a month ago, the Special High School Intelligence Division discovered that the Ming family's caravan following Yonghua Industrial out of the city contained illegal drugs and radio stations. We secretly tracked this batch of medicines and batteries and found that they ended up in Suzhou. Later, in cooperation with our colleagues from the Special Higher Education Course there, we arrested their traffic officers. After interrogation, we found that they were members of the Red Party. And that batch Medicines, as well as batteries for radio stations, are to be given to the Red Party’s base in southern Jiangsu.
However, because the Red Party noticed it early and evacuated in time, we were unable to catch their tail. During this period, we secretly investigated the Ming family's industry and found that there were people lurking inside the Red Party, people lurking with Yonghua Industrial, and a company controlled in the Red Party case, cooperating with the Red Party to transport supplies to the Red Party. After our confirmation, Der Spiegel knew about these things and had many financial and business contacts. As the controller of Yonghua Industrial, I would like to ask, do you know these situations? Do you think Minglou is clear? "
Wang Yan's brows had already wrinkled in line with what Kitagawa Kosuke said. Although Kitagawa Kosuke said so, he couldn't be sure whether it was true or not. He didn't know whether there was a flaw in Minglou or whether it was really the opposite as Kitagawa Kosuke said. To pursue.
There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but there was no hesitation on his face. Almost as soon as Kosuke Kitagawa finished speaking, he shook his head and continued with a wry smile: "I just said that I want Section Chief Kitagawa to take care of me. I took care of it. I didn’t understand the situation of the workers under me, not even my general manager Gu Yongcheng. Mr. Iwai, Section Chief Kitagawa, I have always known that the workers under me are complicated. But we have no way to tell. In addition to the pervasive agents of both parties, aren't there also personnel deployed by the Special High School and No. 76?
The year before last, a manager under me even attracted many people from both parties. At that time, Wang Manchun was still there and she hosted the event. If I had not trusted Mr. Iwai at that time, I would not have been able to escape unscathed. Unexpectedly, within two years of Ansheng's life, trouble would befall me again. But when I recruit workers and managers, I can’t tell who they are. I'm in business, so if I recruit them, as long as they do a good job, everything will be fine. It's just that today's situation is complicated, and there is no way to prevent this. I hope you can understand. mow
Mr. Iwai, Section Chief Kitagawa, as long as we have solid evidence, we will arrest these people. Although we have business dealings, it definitely does not include this kind of thing. I still have the same attitude as two years ago, absolutely cooperative, absolutely not protective or engaging in petty tricks.
As for the Mirror, I really don’t know anything about it. My partner is Ming Lou. Because Ming Lou works in the government, business matters are handled by Ming Jing. You can ask Gu Yongcheng about this matter. He handles most of my business. And the most important reason why I have difficulty getting in touch with Mingjing is that my reputation is not very good..."
The two little devils both showed knowing smiles. Of course they understood that they were greedy for money and lustful. In fact, at this point, it’s not just Shanghai who understands it. It’s people all over China who don’t focus on the two acres of land in front of their homes. They basically understand it. This is mainly due to the rapid expansion of Wang Yan's power in recent years.
If you look closely, not to mention the flow of money, he is in the front row among all the people in China who are making huge war fortunes. People like him, to this point, are still able to maintain a certain degree of independence, which is already shocking to many people. If this period of history is sorted out again in the new millennium, no matter how someone develops a philosophy of life, they will be able to compete with the highly respected Zeng Guofan. The chicken soup books about him are enough to feed a large number of people.
Wang Yan was not embarrassed at being laughed at by the two little devils. He just pretended to scrape the tip of his nose with his fingers, and then slid his thumbs across the corners of his mouth in a coherent movement.
After the two men laughed, he asked: "Section Chief Beichuan, have all the people involved in the incident you mentioned been arrested?"
"Not yet. We are currently monitoring it and it is not time to close the net yet."
"Then have you told Minglou? After drinking tea here for a while, I want to have lunch with Minglou and talk to him about my properties in the public concession."
"I haven't said it yet, so I hope Mr. Wang will hide it for the time being."
Wang Yan shook his head and sighed, feeling helpless: "Chief Beichuan, you know who I am, and I never want to know too much about your confidential information. Otherwise, I would really have trouble explaining what happened. Any A so-called secret operation cannot guarantee 100% confidentiality. If there is any omission and you find it on my head later, wouldn’t I have died unjustly? I will cancel lunch at Tongminglou in a while, and in the recent period I don’t even see him, Section Chief Kitagawa, is that okay?”
"Wang Sang protects himself wisely, so there is no problem. But I hope Wang Sang can find a proper reason and not surprise Minglou."
"That's natural." Wang Yan turned to look at Eiichi Iwai, "Minglou seems to have been under suspicion ever since he entered the new government. This is really..."
Eiichi Iwai said with a smile: "The innocent will themselves clean up. If he really has no problem, what can anyone do?"
"As far as I know, he doesn't seem to care about No. 76 anymore. He just hangs his name there. It shouldn't be a problem, right? It's better to be fine. This guy is just nostalgic. I have cooperated with him in the past few years. It’s pretty good, but it would be a pity if something went wrong.”
Wang Yan was not sure what he was talking about. After thinking about it, he continued, "Chief Beichuan, I personally want to ask for a favor. I hope Mingjing will be merciful, because the Ming family's business is also very close to my Yonghua Industrial. Closely, once there is a problem with the Ming family's business, I will also be affected. And when it comes to transporting things to the Red Party, I have sent a lot. You should be aware of this. I think it will be less troublesome. Less is better.”
He was not begging for mercy for Ming Jing, but for himself. After all, he is a person who only cares about himself and is afraid of death. He will not ask for trouble. What he said revealed that the mirror
It doesn't matter what happens, but don't delay his business. He cooperates with many Japanese ***, and if he influences them, he influences a lot of people. This is not a request, this is a warning.
"Of course, even if you don't say anything, I still have to consider Minglou. He has handled economic affairs very well in the past few years and has contributed a lot. If there is no problem, Mr. Iwai will give him this face. And according to our According to the current situation, even if Ming Jing is a member of the Red Party, her level is not high. She is not important. What is important is her line."
"Then thank you Mr. Iwai, Section Chief Kitagawa."
"Okay, Wang Sang, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about other major events. The Japanese Empire has now completely controlled the central Pacific..."
Wang Yan smiled and listened to Eiichi Iwai bragging, yes, he was bragging. Of course, Eiichi Iwai would not be able to reveal so much information to him. More importantly, he would be describing a bright blueprint for the future. Perhaps the incident with Kosuke Kitagawa just now was one of the reasons why I came to him, but another more important reason was that he would praise me.
He knew that within a few days, the U.S. military would launch an air attack on Tokyo, scaring them off their feet. He also knew that in less than two months, the Battle of Midway would begin. This battle would defeat the Japanese navy...
After drinking tea here all morning, Wang Yan used the phone number of Iwai Mansion to call Minglou's office, saying that he had something to do and would make an appointment another day. Then he left the Iwai Mansion, got in the car and left straight for lunch.
He looked out the car window, thinking about what Kitagawa Kosuke said.
The only thing that is certain is that Minglou is currently safe. Otherwise, there is no need to tell him these things, but the house will be ransacked directly.
As Kosuke Kitagawa said, Minglou did a good job in the Economic Department, which to a certain extent boosted the economic situation of most areas under Japanese rule and made Japan a lot of money. But Minglou's ability only goes so far. After all, no matter how talented he is, he can't withstand the scourge of Japanese exploitation. Therefore, Minglou still cannot move lightly, because Japan's current economic situation is not very good.
In 1938, they sold cigarettes to raise military expenses. Now in 1942, they are fighting on multiple fronts and recruiting troops on a large scale. Although there is income, more money is spent. Talents like Minglou still have to be cautious.
What's not sure is how correct Kitagawa Kosuke told him. There is definitely nothing wrong with the overall situation, but the question is, what went wrong? This is the key.
Was it Minglou who suspected first, or Mingjing who suspected first, or found a breakthrough in Mingjing's upper and lower lines first, or was it really like Kitagawa Kosuke said that he was discovered first when clearing the customs? Are there any people who were instigated to rebel? Before the special high class Why didn't the operation in Suzhou alarm people here? Was it a real failure or a fake failure? Did they take the opportunity to instigate members of the Red Party to break into the southern Jiangsu base area or the underground party organization in Suzhou? These are all issues that need to be understood when the whole body is affected. A small oversight can be fatal. mow
But these problems are not his problem, but Minglou's problem. Because he had no access to the detailed information below and it was difficult to ask questions, the main point of this matter still lies with Minglou.
If Minglou is smart enough, he should be able to sense the approaching danger...
