Tang Cheng lowered his head in thought, but when he raised his head to talk to Bai Zhanshan, Tang Cheng saw the strange expression on the other person's face. Is there something behind this that I don't know about? The flash of strangeness on Bai Zhanshan's face made Tang Cheng swallow back the words that were already on his lips. He suddenly felt that telling Bai Zhanshan about Hans at this moment seemed a bit unwise. "Just tell me what you have to do. Don't act like you want to say it or not." After all, Bai Zhanshan is an adult with far more life experience than Tang Cheng. As soon as he saw Tang Cheng's expression at this moment, he guessed something. Come strangely.
Tang Cheng, who had seen through Bai Zhanshan's thoughts, cursed secretly in his heart. He didn't look embarrassed because of Bai Zhanshan's words, so he asked Bai Zhanshan. "Uncle Bai, what's going on with Kenichi Yamamoto? There are no outsiders here, just you and me. Please tell me carefully!" Tang Cheng raised his eyebrows at Bai Zhanshan, who already understood what Tang Cheng meant. , Bai Zhanshan, who secretly called him a little slippery, immediately frowned. He didn't know whether telling the truth to Tang Cheng was a good thing or a bad thing.
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Bai Zhanshan finally sighed and gave the inner wall to Tangcheng. "Ordinarily, I shouldn't tell you more about this matter. When I left Nanjing, the director specifically told you that I only need to tell you the content of the mission. But since you asked now, I can't Say you don't know, or lie to deceive you. You must first promise me that you will never mention these things I tell you to anyone else, otherwise you, Uncle Bai, and I will be in trouble. "
When Bai Zhanshan spoke, his expression was particularly dignified and serious. Tang Cheng saw that Bai Zhanshan didn't look like he was lying to him, so he nodded in agreement. "I didn't know about Kenichi Yamamoto at first, but before leaving Nanjing, the director suddenly gave me a document and told me that one of the purposes of coming to Shanghai this time was to kill Kenichi Yamamoto. You also I know, Uncle Bai, I have not been transferred to the Intelligence Department for a long time, and there are not many good people under my command. If the director of the department had not told me to come to Shanghai to find you, I would not have dared to take on this task."
The more Bai Zhanshan talked, the more he talked. Halfway through his words, he started to go off topic. Tangcheng simply had nothing to do at the moment, so he had the patience not to interrupt Bai Zhanshan's ramblings. Bai Zhanshan kept going further and further, but Tang Cheng patiently refused to interrupt her. It was Bai Zhanshan who finally came to his senses and turned the conversation back to the topic when he saw the expression on Tang Cheng's face that made him want to laugh or not. "This Kenichi Yamamoto also has a Chinese name, Wang Changde. A month ago, he was still from the Shanghai Station. If the Shanghai Station had not carried out an internal self-examination under the order of the Shanghai Station, this guy would probably still be lurking in Shanghai. stand."
Bai Zhanshan's words finally solved the mystery for Tangcheng. I dare not believe that Kenichi Yamamoto had actually pretended to be a Chinese and lurked inside Shanghai Station. Tang Cheng opened his mouth wide at this moment, as if listening to a book from heaven, but in a flash of lightning in his mind, he connected the Shanghai Station self-examination, Yamamoto Kenichi's identity exposure and Zhang Jiang and the ambush. Tang Cheng, who finally connected these things together, breathed out secretly. It was only at this moment that he finally understood the purpose of Bai Zhanshan's sudden visit to Shanghai. He came to Shanghai to clean up the family and cover up his ugliness under the order of the director. .
There is actually a Japanese spy pretending to be Chinese lurking in the intelligence department of the Nationalist Government. If this matter is exposed by the Intelligence Department’s nemesis, the Central Military Commission or the Special High School Section, everyone in the Intelligence Department will be reprimanded by the Chairman. . The director who wanted to strengthen the functions of the Intelligence Department may also be thrown into the cold palace by the chairman of the committee because of this scandal. Killing people in advance will become the only way for the director to remedy the situation.
After understanding the key point, a smile appeared on Tang Cheng's face. Bai Zhanshan, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but shudder in his heart when he saw the sudden smile on Tang Cheng's face. Bai Zhanshan only knew Tang Cheng for more than a month when he worked together in Nanjing, but he was very familiar with Tang Cheng's smiling face. As long as Tang Cheng looked like this, it meant that someone had fallen into his scheme. , this is going to be bad luck. Before Bai Zhanshan could speak, Tang Cheng, who suddenly straightened his expression, spoke first.
"Uncle Bai, this job is difficult!" Tang Cheng took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette. While smoking, he flicked his fingers quickly on the table. Bai Zhanshan, who was familiar with him, knew that this was Tang Cheng thinking about the problem. habitual actions. "According to what you just told me, Kenichi Yamamoto has returned to the special high school. Not to mention that we don't know where this person is now. Even if we know, we don't know the Hongkou District that has been strictly controlled by the Japanese. It’s easy to sneak in, after all, the Japanese army has tightened control over Hongkou District.”
"Assassination can't be done just by talking. It also requires accurate intelligence to support. In addition, I also need a sum of activity funds and equipment used in the operation." Having said this, Tang Cheng flicked his fingers The movements on the table gradually increased in frequency, but the expression on his face remained the same. "Another point is, if I succeed in killing Kenichi Yamamoto, will this matter lead to large-scale retaliation from the Special High School? What if the higher ups cannot bear the retaliation from the Special High School and use me as a weapon to calm the trouble? If I hand over the unlucky guy, then I will suffer a huge loss!"
Tang Cheng's last words made Bai Zhanshan awkwardly pick up the tea cup in front of him. Bai Zhanshan, who was pretending to drink tea, called Tang Cheng little fox in his heart for the second time. Just one assassination operation, Tang Cheng could think of so many things from it. While secretly calling Tang Cheng little fox, Bai Zhanshan did not dare to underestimate Tang Cheng anymore. "Xiao Wu, you can rest assured. When I left Nanjing, the director said that as long as this matter is done well, the director will arrange everything you mentioned. As long as you go to Chongqing, No matter how hard the Japanese try, they won’t be able to reach Chongqing.”
Bai Zhanshan's watery explanation made Tang Cheng immediately glance at him sideways and sneer full of resentment. "Uncle Bai, you know what I'm worried about is not that the Japanese will directly retaliate against me!" Tang Cheng's words made Bai Zhanshan embarrassed. "I'm not afraid of the Japanese. I'm just worried about the big men above, these high-ranking people." Gentlemen, we have always been regarded as ants. When I left Nanjing, I heard that there were people above who had been clamoring for peaceful coexistence with the Japanese. At that time, they would just abandon a nobody like me. To them, It’s simply not too simple.”
Tang Cheng's words were full of resentment. Bai Zhanshan didn't know what to say for a moment. After a slight silence, Tang Cheng continued to speak. "Although I am not very happy in my heart, this matter is what the director wants, so I can only do it next. But let's agree first that after this matter, I will never be used as a victim. And I will tell you Like my father, I just want to concentrate on dealing with the Japanese spies lurking in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, so after this incident, your intelligence office should not ask me for assassination. I am not a killer or an assassin. I just want to be a little policeman. By the way, catch the Japanese spies."
Tang Cheng was not so arrogant as to negotiate terms with the Intelligence Department, but this time it was a good opportunity. Besides, the conditions he proposed were not too difficult to accept, and the Intelligence Department, which was anxious to hide its ugly face, might not agree. Bai Zhanshan also felt that Tang Cheng's request was nothing, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and even took out a few gold bars and pushed them to Tang Cheng. "This is what the director specially approved for you before I left Nanjing, even if it is a fund for your activities. If it is too much, we will not talk about it. The director and I know your skills, and we hope you can complete this smoothly. Task."
Tang Cheng was not polite and took the gold bars and put them in his pocket. After smoking a cigarette, Tang Cheng made a list of equipment to Bai Zhanshan. "I will find someone to collect information about Kenichi Yamamoto. You don't need to do this. It's just the weapons and equipment that need to be used during the operation. This requires you to find a way. If you can get me a hair Mauser sniper rifles, that would be even better." Tangcheng knew that there were not many Mauser sniper rifles in the national army, but it should not be difficult for the Intelligence Department to mobilize them from the army.
"The specific plan can only be formulated after I get the information about Kenichi Yamamoto. You also need to prepare several action teams in advance to cover my safe evacuation after the operation is over." Tangcheng He didn't intend to completely trust the Intelligence Department, but there were some things that he couldn't accomplish alone. At least when he evacuated, someone had to provide cover behind him.
Bai Zhanshan nodded and agreed to Tang Cheng's request without hesitation. He was also someone who had directly participated in the operation, so he naturally knew that Tang Cheng's request was not excessive. But regarding the equipment list listed by Tangcheng, Bai Zhanshan expressed his doubts, "Xiao Wu, what do you want with so many guns? There are also German original wooden handle pistols and sniper rifles." , you don’t need to engage in a close firefight with the target?”
Of course, it was impossible for Tang Cheng to tell Bai Zhanshan his plan. Faced with Bai Zhanshan's questions, Tang Cheng just explained that it was used as a cover for retreat. After staying at the Sifang Tea House with Bai Zhanshan for more than two hours and agreeing to meet again in three days, Tang Cheng got up and left. After leaving the teahouse, Tang Cheng immediately hailed a rickshaw on the street. However, the people arranged by Bai Zhanshan only followed him two blocks away before suddenly losing sight of Tang Cheng.
