Ever since the military academy investigation team learned which Director Song had been seen by Instructor Qi before his disappearance, although they were handed over to the Military Police Headquarters for self-examination due to different subordinates, there was no result in the end. But when Zhou Wen knew who Director Song was, he immediately thought of the conflict with several military policemen. Although the two parties ended in reconciliation, they had lost the face of Director Song.
Now that the two things were connected, Zhou Wen knew that Instructor Qi's leak was related to Director Song.
It's just that it's hard to talk about things without evidence, but Zhou Wen always feels that it's a thorn in his heart. Before, no one around him was easy to act, but now that the brothers are here, he has to think about it carefully.
…
On this day, in front of an inconspicuous two-story old house in the Japanese Concession in Shanghai, a man in a suit looked at the house number at the door, then reached out and rang the doorbell. Not long after, a man with short hair opened half of the door. , looked at the person outside the door warily and asked: "Is this Mr. Nakata?"
The man outside the door just nodded without saying a word, and then the door was opened. The short-haired man bowed and said, "Welcome Nakata-kun, Mr. Ikaharu is already waiting for you upstairs."
Nakata just bowed slightly and spoke like gold: "Please!"
Nakata was led by the short-haired man through the corridor on the first floor and arrived at a simply decorated reception room on the second floor.
There was already a middle-aged bald man making tea on the coffee table in the reception room. He didn't stand up when he saw Nakata come in. He just pointed to the sofa opposite him and said: "Sit down, Nakata, come and try the Mingqian that was just launched this year." Mao Jian, I prepared this just for you."
Nakata bowed to the middle-aged man and still said a few words briefly, "Thank you, Mr. Jinchun."
Then, he glanced around slightly with his shining eyes, and sat down opposite the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man raised his eyes and signaled, and the short-haired man bowed and exited the reception room, and gently closed the door from the outside.
The middle-aged man named Ichiharu didn't speak anymore, and just continued the process of making tea with concentration. Nakata didn't speak either, sitting quietly opposite and waiting, as if he was here just to taste tea today.
I saw this spring pouring the tea brewed in the purple clay pot into two porcelain white teacups, pushing one cup to Nakata, while he picked up the steaming teacup in front of him, gently put it in front of his nose, took a sniff, and then became intoxicated. He closed his eyes and took another sip of tea.
He looked satisfied and said, "Wow! What a pleasure!"
But Nakata drank the tea in the cup without any expression, as if he was drinking a cup of ordinary boiled water.
"You guy, it's such a waste for you to drink such good tea!"
Just when Nakata thought he would praise his good tea again this spring, he heard him say leisurely: "The armistice agreement between the Empire and China has been signed, but the war in our Shanghai Special Higher Education School has just begun."
It turned out that just when the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu had just ceased, in view of the fact that the losses of the Japanese army in this war far exceeded the expectations of the Japanese authorities, and there was a disastrous defeat in which the Huncheng 24 Brigade, including the brigade commander, was wiped out, The reason for all this is that the Chinese army's combat effectiveness and will to resist greatly exceeded the Japanese army's expectations, and were completely different from the performance of the Northeastern Army during the September 18th Incident.
In particular, the performance of a mysterious unit in the Chinese army shocked Japan.
After a series of post-war deductions and reviews by the Japanese military, it was discovered that it was precisely because of the existence of this mysterious Chinese army that the Japanese army paid unimaginable losses and the Huncheng 24th Brigade was destroyed. Even the sinking of the Izumo was It has a lot to do with this Chinese army.
And how was this mysterious force trained? How much is prepared? Who is the commander? Stationed there? Japan knows nothing about it. This led to Japan's intelligence agencies being held accountable by the military, and even His Majesty the Emperor began to intervene in the matter, which put Japan's intelligence organization, which it has always been proud of, under considerable pressure.
Among Japan's intelligence agencies, large and small, the one with the largest scale, the most branches, and the most complete functions is the special higher education course affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior.
Japan's Special Higher Police Course was established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its full name is the Special Higher Police Course, which is affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Japan.
"Class" is similar to the Chinese word "Chi" or "Ke"
Initially, the Special High School Division was an organization that dealt with domestic incidents. Its full name was the Japan Special High Police Division, which initially existed in various police departments.
It is different from ordinary security or criminal police. It is somewhat similar to Hitler's Gestapo in Germany during World War II. It performs the functions of higher-level political police and secret investigation police.
However, with the needs of Japan's invasion of China and the Far East, the Japanese government began to gradually transform the functions of super higher education courses. One of the more obvious signs is that while Japanese embassy and consulate officials in foreign countries are engaged in intelligence work, they also cooperate with spies from the Special High School Course in espionage activities.
Now, after suffering heavy losses on the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese authorities believe that intelligence work on China and the Chinese military needs to be further strengthened. Even the Intelligence Section of the Japanese Military Ministry has realized that the strength of military intelligence agencies alone is not enough. Complete an in-depth understanding of China's military intelligence.
As a result, the Japanese military changed its previous arrogant attitude and agreed to cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Special High School. Both parties decided to transfer their respective elite spies to jointly establish two special high school courses in China.
One is the Far Eastern Higher Education Course established in Shenyang, which targets the Far East of the Soviet Union, Manchuria, and the entire North China region.
The other is the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course, which targets the vast area in southern China, including Nanjing, Shanghai and other economic, political and cultural central cities.
The first director of the Shanghai Special Higher Education Course is the bald middle-aged man who makes tea, Jianchun Shengyi.
Jin Chunsheng is a senior senior agent of Japan's Special High School. He once served as the counselor of the Japanese Embassy in the Soviet Union. During his five-year tenure in the Soviet Union, the Japanese spy team in the Soviet Union led by him was fruitful and had close ties with the Soviet Union. The card personnel battled wits and gained the upper hand, obtained countless priceless confidential information, and won numerous awards from the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Japan transferred him to Shanghai after careful consideration. Even in the early days of this spring, Shengyi served as the deputy consul of the Japanese Consulate in Tianjin and was very familiar with the situation in China.
The Shanghai Special Higher Education Course has 5 tasks:
The first item is to monitor the ideological trends of Chinese people, especially anti-Japanese words and deeds;
The second item is to collect intelligence, especially military intelligence;
The third item is to destroy China’s intelligence agencies and assassinate, detect, interrogate, and deal with Chinese agents;
The fourth item is to monitor the words and deeds of senior officials in Nanjing;
The fifth item is to carry out activities such as instigating rebellion and inducing surrender against Chinese pro-Japanese officials.
