The dinner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ended successfully. Bai Longdu left with a round belly. Half of a whole charcoal-roasted suckling pig was eaten by this guy. Director Li was deeply proud of the superb skills of the chefs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
But it wasn't without regrets. He hadn't talked to Section Chief Zuo about business until now. Seeing Zuo Zhongyong finishing his meal and wanting to leave, he hurried to the door. Some things couldn't be put off any longer.
Director Li stopped Zuo Zhong: "Secretary Shen, I have to leave so soon. To be honest, I have other plans after the banquet. By the way, I will introduce a few friends to you. They are several officers from the Military Commission."
Finally coming to the key point, it was hard for him to endure it for so long.
Zuo Zhong smiled lightly and looked at him without saying a word until he looked red in the face, then said slowly: "Tell Major General Luo that I can't help Mr. Luo, but please don't worry.
Mr. Luo's life is not in danger. He should have been electrocuted in the electric chair, but since you have spoken, I will give you this face. I will not release him until the case is thoroughly investigated. "
Director Li was overjoyed when he heard this. He clasped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for your great kindness. Major General Luo is my old commander. If you ask me for help, I have to express my gratitude. I will leave everything to Mr. Shen."
By the way, in a few days we will have the opening ceremony of the new Ministry of Foreign Affairs building. Many diplomats will be attending. Japan has sent its minister to China. I think you should come and take a look. "
"Oh? Okay, let's go."
Zuo Zhong waved his hand, got in the car and drove to the Secret Service Area C. Naturally, he drove around the city a few times. Along the way, he was thinking about Director Li's last message. The Japanese minister was coming?
The diplomatic relationship between Japan and the Republic of China is very complicated. The highest diplomat in Japan currently stationed in China is the minister, not the minister. There is only one word difference between the two, but they have completely different meanings.
The full name of the ambassador is Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, which is the highest-level diplomatic envoy. The full name of the Minister is Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, which is the second-level diplomatic envoy. Generally speaking, ambassadors are more noble.
When faced with a weak country, powerful countries only send ministers, not ambassadors. Therefore, from the previous dynasty to the Republic of China, most Western countries stationed in China had ministers, but Japan not only followed suit but was even more cunning.
The current Japanese Minister to China, Yoshiaki Yoshiaki, also holds the title of ambassador. This is of course not to respect the Republic of China, but to take care of the emotions of Yoshiaki, a veteran diplomat. He is called ambassador internally and minister externally.
Zuo Zhong drove the car, recalling the information about Yoshiaki in his mind. He was a native of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan, and graduated from Tokyo Higher Business School. He passed the diplomat and consular officer exams in the same year and entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He successively served as a diplomat in Hankou, Incheon and various parts of Europe. In the early Republic of China, he served as Consul General in Shanghai for ten years. In the ninth year of the Republic of China, he served as Minister to Switzerland and in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, he served as Ambassador to Brazil.
In the 21st year of the Republic of China, he returned to the Republic of China as ambassador and minister, and set up the embassy in Shanghai. He hung out in Shanghai all day long and became very familiar with the big shots of the black and white circles of the Republic of China.
This person has always advocated Sino-Japanese friendship and is very able to confuse the elites of the Republic of China who have illusions about Japan. Speaking of which, he is also a noble person of Hase Ryosuke, whose predecessor was driven away by the other party.
Why would such a person go to Jinling to attend the opening ceremony of the new Ministry of Foreign Affairs building without waiting for the glamorous world in Shanghai? Logically speaking, it would be enough for the Consul General in Nanjing to go there.
Zuo Zhong increased his vigilance. The Japanese would not do meaningless things. There were Japanese diplomats stationed in Shanghai on January 28th. Could it be that Yoshiaki wanted to cause trouble in Jinling?
This possibility is very high. In the past two years, the Japanese in Shanghai have failed in Jinling and suffered many failures. As the general person in charge of the Japanese intelligence forces in Shanghai, Yoshiaki cannot escape the blame.
If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has KPIs, Ji Ming will definitely be ranked at the bottom. If he doesn't give it a try, he should return to Kyoto to retire. From this point of view, the possibility of the other party causing trouble in Jinling is very high.
The more Zuo Zhong thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He went back to the Secret Service and called Gu Qi. He was on duty again today. Since he came to the Secret Service, Gu Qi had regained his second youth and turned into a workaholic.
Gu Qi put on his coat and said sleepily: "Section Chief, what happened?"
He had no worries in his heart. Every time he was on duty, something would happen if the section chief went to eat. The Intelligence Section was becoming more and more evil. Maybe there was something wrong with Feng Shui in the department, as Song Minghao said.
Zuo Zhong didn't know what he was thinking, so he told him about Ji Ming's coming to Jinling, and also told his guess. Gu Qi suddenly woke up, it sounded like the person who came was evil.
He quickly asked: "What should I do? Do I want to report it to the chief minister?"
"Don't be anxious, sit down first." Zuo Zhong sat on the stool: "The report is yes, but we need to think of a countermeasure. By the way, are there any abnormalities in the personnel of the Special High School? Is everything normal at Nobita's place?"
Gu Qi thought for a while, shook his head affirmatively and said: "No, the personnel of the Extra High School in Jinling are all under our surveillance. The brothers are very vigilant now. It is impossible for Du Laizi's incident to happen again.
Nobita has not been in contact recently, which is normal. The last time he contacted me, he said he was safe. I asked him not to act rashly unless there were special circumstances, let alone take the initiative to obtain information. "
"That's good."
Zuo Zhong said something, lit a cigarette and thought about it. Yoshiaki is a diplomat, and some methods cannot be used on him. Once discovered by the Japanese, it will give the other party an excuse.
Even the intelligence department can't monitor him at close range. Who knows if the Japanese will set a trap. It's best to find someone to take the blame. If something goes wrong, you can't blame the Secret Service or yourself. Who can you turn to?
After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and said: "Go to the Jinling Police Department and ask them to pay close attention to the whereabouts of Yuji Ming and his entourage that day. If we want to conduct surveillance with great fanfare, we must let the Japanese discover it."
"Is the section chief going to alert the enemy?" Gu Qi suddenly realized that this was a good idea. The Japanese knew that they were being watched, so they would at least restrain their movements and not make Jinling uneasy.
He nodded immediately: "Okay, I will make arrangements at dawn. The police can also move easily in the name of protection. So, should we send someone to take a look, or sneak into the police team to monitor."
Zuo Zhong sneered: "Of course we have to send people to keep an eye on it, but don't use Corey's people this time. The Japanese will definitely take the opportunity to collect information on intelligence personnel. Our people must not reveal their identities."
Gu Qi asked: "Let the Action Department go?"
"Of course not." Zuo Zhong said with a slight smile: "They will also perform field duties in the future. It is also dangerous to reveal their identity. You can find some Chinese tunic suits and send them to the master chefs in the cafeteria."
"What! Canteen Master??"
Gu Qi was stunned. What on earth was the section chief thinking? The master chef in the cafeteria said they were from the Secret Service, but they didn't know intelligence skills or operational skills, so what's the use of going there.
Zuo Zhong clapped his hands: "Yes, just let them go. It's just for the Japanese to see anyway, and we don't expect to get any information. They have been here for so long, so they pretend to have a three-dimensional image."
"This." Gu Qi said with some uncertainty: "The brothers usually come in and out. They must be familiar with everyone's words and deeds. There should be no problem in pretending to be from a distance."
"That's enough. There are people from the police station for personal protection inside, and there are intelligence personnel monitoring outside. The Japanese have scruples when doing things, so they just need to send Yukiaki away." Zuo Zhong made a decision.
Gu Qi had to admit that the section chief's idea sounded a bit unreliable at first, but when he thought about it carefully, there was no more suitable candidate than the canteen master.
After all, they don't have to go out on field duty, so it doesn't matter if the Japanese took the photos. At the same time, the identities of these people have been investigated many times, and their backgrounds are very reliable.
Finally, the masters are fat and strong, and they look quite imposing after putting on their Chinese tunic suits. They can really frighten the Japanese who don't know the situation in the Secret Service.
No one in the Secret Service dared to turn a deaf ear to Zuo Zhong's words. When the New General Affairs Section heard that Section Chief Zuo was borrowing people, they borrowed two ladle-shakers and four piercers without saying a word, forming a six-person team.
They put on Chinese tunic suits and walked around the place, frightening the agents who didn't know the situation. They thought these people were usually lurking in the canteen, and they all recalled whether they had said anything inappropriate.
Coupled with a few old pistols without bullets, the special task force of the Secret Service was completed. Zuo Zhong went to check it out. Yes, it looked decent, but it smelled like chopped green onion.
"Lao Gu, tell them not to get close to the Japanese, otherwise they will be easy to gang up on."
"Yes, section chief."
After finishing speaking, Zuo Zhong put his hands on his hips and looked at the group of cooks who were walking happily and showed a satisfied smile. When the Japanese saw these people, they should be able to see traces of military training.
In addition to the cook, Gu Qi also contacted the Jinling Police Department. Bai Wenzhi heard that the Japanese minister was coming to Jinling and heard about the problems here, so he promised to send enough people for protection.
It is worth mentioning that he followed the path of Chief Yang's boss, and finally his wife for many years became a mother-in-law and took over as the chief of the Jinling Police Department. It is quite unlucky for a new officer to encounter this when he takes office.
The top security officer in the capital has great fortunes and high risks. If something happens to the Japanese, he will be the first to suffer. His predecessor, Lao Wen, was frightened to death by the complicated security situation.
Wish him good luck. Zuo Zhong smacked his lips. He would die as a fellow Taoist but not as a poor Taoist. He had already reminded him that if something happened again, it would be his life. At worst, be polite when you arrest him.
Everyone, watch the end
