"You mean, Bai Zhanshan has also come to Shanghai?" Tang Cheng returned to his residence and did not choose to hide his meeting with Bai Zhanshan, and immediately told Zhang Jianghe about Bai Zhanshan's appointment with him. After Zhang Jianghe learned about this, he didn't seem too concerned. He was just confused about why Bai Zhanshan replaced him as the new special commissioner. Zhang Jianghe, who was feeling a little melancholy, began to think secretly. Seeing Zhang Jianghe's reaction, Tang Cheng had no choice but to persuade him.
"Uncle Zhang, when Lao Bai was in Nanjing, he often flattered your director. There are also factions within the Intelligence Department, and your director is an ambitious person. If his subordinates Without a few trusted people, it will be difficult to suppress the voices of faction opponents." The reason why Tang Cheng was able to say these words was not because of the so-called bystander's knowledge, but from the tips of a large amount of relevant information and Internet articles in later generations.
"Xiaowu, you can say such things, it means you have really grown up, I am very happy." Zhang Jianghe was also gratified and surprised that Tang Cheng had such insights. The internal disputes in the intelligence office were like those in the army. Generally, it is the result of factional opposition. However, compared with the military, which is full of factions, the internal factions of the Intelligence Office are relatively simple. There are only two factions, the Baoding clique and the Huangpu clique. Tang Cheng's late father and Zhang Jianghe both belonged to the Huangpu clique.
The director who always calls the chairman of the committee the principal suppresses the Baoding clique within the Intelligence Department. Unfortunately, he does not have many cronies who can suppress the situation. Therefore, even though the Baoding clique is suppressed within the Intelligence Department, it still remains the same. The power that makes the director dare not be careless. Zhang Jianghe did not want to participate in the internal fighting among the factions, so he was not regarded as one of his own by the director like Bai Zhanshan. Otherwise, he would not have been suddenly transferred to Shanghai.
"Xiao Wu, did Bai Zhanshan tell you what his mission was when he came to Shanghai this time?" Zhang Jianghe looked at Tang Cheng, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. With such an expression, it was obvious that he was not sure what he could do from Tang Cheng. Get a clear answer. Tang Cheng smiled bitterly when he heard this. Zhang Jianghe acted so cautiously, obviously because he was worried about his ability and motivation to contact the intelligence office at any time. It's just that he was hesitating whether he should tell Zhang Jianghe Zhizhi about Yamamoto Kenichi.
The hesitation on Tang Cheng's face was clearly seen by Zhang Jianghe. He was about to change the subject because of the misunderstanding in his heart, but Tang Cheng spoke at this moment. "Bai Zhanshan himself said that he came to Shanghai for two main tasks. One is to take over from you and continue the internal investigation work of the Shanghai Station. The other is an assassination mission personally assigned by the director of the department to assassinate a Japanese spy named Yamamoto Kenichi." Tang Cheng finally chose to tell the truth to Zhang Jianghe, but this truth was selective. At least Tang Cheng did not tell the reason why the Intelligence Department wanted to assassinate Kenichi Yamamoto.
Zhang Jianghe nodded when he heard that he was injured and had lost contact with the Shanghai Station. It was appropriate for the Nanjing headquarters to send someone to take over his task. But when he learned that Bai Zhanshan came to Shanghai this time and had an assassination mission, Zhang Jianghe felt a little gloating. "Bai Zhanshan's men are not very skilled, and the Shanghai station is uneven. He is going to be in trouble now..." Zhang Jianghe only said half of what he said, but suddenly stopped, and then he seemed to have an epiphany. He raised his head and looked towards Tangcheng.
"He came to meet with you. Does he want your help in assassinating that Japanese spy?" Suddenly it occurred to him that Tang Cheng had gone to Hongkou District to kill a large number of Japanese spies and military officers a while ago. Zhang Jianghe suspected Bai Zhanshan's main purpose for meeting with Tang Cheng. , just to persuade Tang Cheng to help. Tang Cheng did not hesitate, just nodded silently to Zhang Jianghe, because he knew that as long as Zhang Jianghe became suspicious, this kind of thing would not be hidden from Zhang Jianghe. "Damn it, how could he do this!" Zhang Jianghe was so angry that he waved his hand and swept the coffee cup off the table to the ground.
Most of the personnel in the Intelligence Department are drawn from the army. Due to the training direction of the army, most of the personnel drawn from the army are used to face-to-face offensive and defensive battles. However, most of the intelligence office's work is concentrated in cities. Even if there are firefights with opponents, most of them are small-scale pistol firefights. Assassination operations are often carried out in enemy-occupied areas, and intelligence service personnel who are not accustomed to using long-range weapons often have to face the fate of never returning. Bai Zhanshan obviously had no good intentions when he involved Tang Cheng in this matter. Zhang Jianghe was worried that Tang Cheng would be in crisis as a result.
Zhang Jianghe suddenly became angry. Tang Cheng knew that it was not directed at him. He leaned over and picked up the pieces of the coffee cup from the floor. Tang Cheng smiled at Zhang Jianghe. "Uncle Zhang, I know what you are worried about, but you underestimate me too much. I can kill people in places like Hongkou District and keep the Japanese awake at night. This matter that Bai Zhanshan entrusted to me is not at all What's the matter, what's bothering me now is just the lack of specific information about the target." Tang Cheng found a new coffee cup, picked up the coffee pot with a smile, and poured Zhang Jianghe another cup of coffee.
"During the time you left Nanjing, I frequently went to the shooting range of your Intelligence Department. I fired 100-meter rifles and 40-meter pistols rapidly. The shooting instructors at your shooting range were ashamed when they saw it. As long as the trajectory of the target can be confirmed, At that time, I just need to kill him with a rifle from a distance. If we insist on talking about danger, it is just how to retreat safely afterwards and deal with the investigation that may occur afterwards." Tang Cheng comforted Zhang Jianghe and only said Part of his plan was revealed, but he seemed very confident in his words.
After being comforted by Tang Cheng's smile for a while, Zhang Jianghe pondered for a while before letting out a long sigh. "Forget it, you have passed your 18th birthday and you are considered an adult. I don't want to say too much, but you have to listen to me carefully. Bai Zhanshan is not as honest as he looks. You'd better be more careful when dealing with him." Tang Cheng was secretly moved by Zhang Jianghe's heartfelt words. According to Zhang Jianghe's character, it was already very difficult for him to say such words to himself.
After having dinner with Zhou Hongzhuang and Zhang Jiang, and changing clothes, Tang Cheng went out again. This time, he did not change cars halfway, but went straight to Hans' restaurant. In order to successfully assassinate Kenichi Yamamoto, Tang Cheng must first determine the trajectory of the opponent's activities. Bai Zhanshan met with him alone and already explained the assassination of Kenichi Yamamoto. The director of Nanjing obviously did not want too many people to know about it. . As a result, Bai Zhanshan and Shanghai Station could no longer be counted on for intelligence gathering. At this moment, Tangcheng could only come to Hans to find a solution.
"Tang, there is no problem. We are friends. Since it is a friend who asks, I will definitely help you." Hans, who learned about Tang Cheng's intention, was very happy, but Tang Cheng saw it from Hans's expression. other meanings. As expected, after Hans called someone to handle the matter, he immediately made his request to Tangcheng. "Tang, in exchange or transaction, you must help me kill another person. You will get the relevant information soon, but this time, we are helping each other, and I will not pay you."
Hans's words made Tang Cheng feel that he could no longer use the word shameless to describe the other party at this moment. However, since he wanted something from the other party at the moment, Tang Cheng could only express his willingness to help Hans solve the trouble. He made an appointment with Bai Zhanshan to meet in three days, but Hans acted very quickly. At noon the next day, Hans called Tang Cheng, who was staying at his residence, and said that he had obtained what Tang Cheng needed. information. "Don, according to my judgment, you may fail this time. This Kenichi Yamamoto is simply a monster."
Kenichi Yamamoto was called a monster by Hans, and it was no lie, because the information obtained from Hans showed that Kenichi Yamamoto rarely left the Special High School Class, and even when he went out, he was often surrounded by three or five Special High School Class members. The American special agents were always there to protect him. No wonder Hans said that Tang Cheng might miss this time. After reading the intelligence, Tang Cheng also felt that Kenichi Yamamoto was difficult to deal with, because this guy basically stayed in the special high school during the day. If he wanted to take action, he would do it. The only option is after dark.
However, Tang Cheng was not without a chance, because Hans didn't know that as long as Tang Cheng turned on the triple eyepiece skill, his vision would not be restricted even after dark. Tang Cheng then asked Hans for pen and paper, and based on the information in the intelligence, he began to draw a rough trajectory of the target's movements on the white paper. And based on this, on the map of the public concession and Hongkou District, he marked several places that he could borrow during operations. The places selected by Tangcheng did not overlap with Kenichi Yamamoto's activity trajectory. They basically maintained a distance of more than 400 meters from Kenichi Yamamoto's activity trajectory.
The seemingly glib Hans was not without his merits. After seeing the route and locations outlined by Tang Cheng on the map, Hans basically understood Tang Cheng’s intentions and plans. "Tang, do you still want to use a rifle to kill the target from a long distance like last time? If so, will it attract the attention of the Concession Patrol Room afterwards? After all, the Concession Patrol Room has not really closed the previous cases." Hans's face was filled with worry. He was worried that Tangcheng's actions would trigger a backlash from the patrol house in the concession.
"Hans, my friend, you don't have to worry about these little things at all. Since the Concession Patrol Office chose to keep things quiet in the previous cases, and they don't want to cause trouble, they probably won't bring up old cases to make things bigger. On the other hand He said that when those cases occurred, you had alibi evidence. Even if the concession police station suspected you through some ulterior channel, you don't need to panic. After all, they have no real evidence to prove that you were involved with those cases. The cases are related.”
