"My young man,
Leaving home and going to Nanyang,
We parted,
No more than two."
On the stage of the Casanova Ballroom, a singer stood in front of the microphone and sang softly. In the soft singing, the guests on the dance floor danced. War seemed to be a distant term here.
Chen Mingchu, who was in the booth, tapped the table with his hands to keep in tune with the rhythm. From time to time, he turned his head to whisper to the woman next to him and laughed. He didn't care about the surrounding environment or the people coming and going. He completely lost the vigilance of an intelligence officer.
"Mingchu, I have taken a fancy to a piece of jewelry. It is said to be a new style from France. It costs several hundred copper coins. Can you buy it for me?"
"Okay, okay, buy~"
While the two were talking, the woman leaned on his shoulder and made a request coquettishly. Chen Mingchu waved his hand unusually boldly, not caring about a few hundred yen at all.
The Yamashiro Military Reunification Headquarters is very generous to the Shanghai District and provides sufficient funds for activities. As the personnel specialist responsible for the welfare of personnel, he can receive tens of thousands of yen in public funds every month. This amount of money is considered. What.
As for Welfare, working at the heart of the enemy, it is normal to be delayed by one or two months occasionally. Chen Mingchu is not afraid of his subordinates making trouble. After all, this is the territory of the Japanese.
"Haha, Mr. Chen really cares about her."
Just when Chen Mingchu couldn't extricate himself in the gentle countryside, a voice came from next to him. Chen Mingchu paused, and the next second his hand went to his ankle, where his pocket pistol for self-defense was placed.
As an old man from the local military command station, although he did not receive regular training like the headquarters staff, he had received complete operational technical training, and his movements of drawing a gun were extremely vigorous.
"Mr. Chen, don't be afraid. You and I must not offend the beauty."
Chen Mingchu moved quickly, and Li Shiqun, who had studied at the Red Russian spy school, moved even faster. His right hand grabbed the opponent's arm and pushed it down hard, saying something lightly at the same time.
After saying that, he and Ryosuke Hase, who was watching the theater, sat down on the left and right sides, filling the four-seater seat. Seeing this, the waiter in the ballroom thought that the four of them were old acquaintances and quickly brought soda water to them.
After the waiter left, Li Shiqun, who was fighting Chen Mingchu under the table, suddenly let go and allowed the other party to draw his gun. This confused Chen Mingchu, who hesitated and finally did not take out the gun.
No matter who the visitor is, once they show off in a public place like a dance hall, they will definitely attract the attention of Japanese and French policemen. Then it will be troublesome, and let's see what the other party is going to do.
As if he had guessed what Chen Mingchu was thinking, Li Shiqun glanced around and said straight to the point: "Mr. Chen, let me meet you. I am Li Shiqun, the deputy director of the New National Secret Service Headquarters.
Next to this lady is His Excellency Ryosuke Hase, the head of Japan's Hase Agency and the adjunct officer of the Special Committee on China. I hope you'll forgive me for the hasty nature of this visit. "
Traitors and Japanese!
Chen Mingchu's head buzzed. Of course Li Shiqun knew that the senior agents at the old agent headquarters were cruel and ruthless. Recently, many Central Unification agents were captured and executed by the other party.
He is also familiar with Ryosuke Hase, a powerful figure in the Japanese intelligence agency. He does a lot of business and has a good relationship with the concession. He is the only Japanese intelligence officer who can compete with Deputy Director Zuo without suffering a big loss.
Being blocked here by these two people, he was afraid of danger. Thinking of the various tortures in the anti-torture training, Chen Mingchu's body instantly lost all strength, and he collapsed on the sofa in fear.
Seeing him like this, Li Shiqun knew in his heart that he was safe this time. A fearful intelligence agent couldn't keep a secret, and the other party was indeed a good breakthrough point.
Hase Ryosuke also smiled, but secretly tensed up his nerves, holding the pistol in his pocket with his right hand, staring at Chen Mingchu's expression with his eyes, ready to shoot at any time.
If there is anything wrong with the other party's reaction, then I'm sorry. Only one of the four people present today can get out alive. I hope the new ID hidden in the safe house will not be used.
The woman brought by Chen Mingchu was trembling there. Although she did not know Chen Mingchu's true identity, in today's Shanghai, if a person is approached by the Japanese, he is not far from death.
I was just looking for someone to take advantage of me and prepare to make a fortune, but why did this happen to me? I wanted to leave but my legs were weak, so I had to hold back my fear and lower my head deeply, praying that both parties would let her go as a prank.
Tick tock...tick tock...tick tock...
At this time, in Chen Mingchu's ears, everything around him seemed to have stopped. Only the slow beating sound of the Swiss gold watch on his wrist was left. He didn't know how long it took before he suddenly realized something.
If the Japanese and Li Shiqun wanted to arrest him, they would have arrested him long ago. Just now, he didn't care about the situation around him at all. The other party could control him easily, so why didn't the other party do this?
There is only one answer. The Japanese wanted to instigate him and were not prepared to arrest him in public. Perhaps they wanted to follow the clues to find more members of the Shanghai Military Command. Only then would Li Shiqun react this way.
Knowing that his life was not in danger for the time being, Chen Mingchu quickly calmed down, and the blood suddenly returned to his brain, and the noise around him suddenly returned.
As for whether he should accept the instigation of rebellion, the answer is yes. In a situation where people are fighting for their own good, and he commits suicide for the sake of the government and the Kuomintang, he asks himself that he does not have the courage.
It is said that the older Zhang Hu gets, the less courageous he becomes. He is used to living a life of luxury and entertainment, and he is reluctant to leave this colorful world so soon.
However, cooperation is cooperation, and the extent of cooperation depends on the price of the Japanese. The top-secret information in his hands is not one or two, and he must see enough benefits.
In addition, the Japanese may not know his position in the Shanghai District. They only know his name and identity as a military commander. They have to find a way to test him and reflect his value.
After thinking clearly, Chen Mingchu quickly sat up straight, bent slightly, greeted Li Shiqun and Hase Ryosuke with a smile, and then pretended to be confused and asked them about their purpose.
"Mr. Changgu, Mr. Li, I have heard of these two famous names for a long time in Shanghai. It is a great honor to meet you today. I wonder what the reason for the two of you came to see Chen.
Chen is just an ordinary businessman. If Director Li wants money, I will immediately raise a batch of cash and send it to you. You don’t have to pay it back. Let’s just make friends. "
Li Shiqun chuckled lightly and without saying much, he took out a neat stack of information from his pocket and threw it on the table, motioning for Chen Mingchu to open it and take a look.
Chen Mingchu made a smile at first, then carefully unfolded the document and found that it contained his detailed resume and past experience, which was probably more detailed than what his immediate boss, Shanghai District Chief Chen Gongshu, knew.
With such a piece of information, no matter what he said, it was useless. The Japanese could easily find out the relevant information by following the pictures. At this time, he saw a record of his own in the book apartment, and suddenly remembered a person in his mind.
He Xingjian!
The discipline of the military commander is very strict. Except for Dai Chunfeng and mission needs, no one is prepared to get married and fall in love during the war, including the officers of the headquarters.
Not even getting married, let alone going to a place like a bookstore. He never told his colleagues in Shanghai District about this, and only played with He Xingjian from the Zhongjiu Army a few times.
He Xingjian was from Caobang, he was very familiar with the smoke and willow land in Shanghai, and he was generous with his actions. Therefore, the two hit it off and went to various book houses in the city together many times to have fun.
The other party must have obtained his identity and address at that time. A few months ago, the other party led people to surrender to the Japanese, so he sold himself, a fellow person!
The more Chen Mingchu thought about it, the more he regretted it. Knowing that He Xingjian had surrendered, he should have given up his disguise and evacuated Shanghai. He should not take chances. Now, the Japanese came to his door.
After being annoyed for a while, he smiled bitterly at Li Shiqun: "It seems that Chen underestimated the secret service headquarters. Well, I am Chen Mingchu, the personnel specialist of the Military Command in Shanghai, and I am willing to cooperate.
I just ask you two to send someone to protect me. If the military commander knows this, he will definitely send sanctions. My life and death are insignificant. It will be bad if it delays the empire's major events. "
The shameless Chen Mingchu has even called out the empire now. He has no choice. As a member of the military command, he knows very well that Dai Chunfeng has only one way to deal with traitors, and that is to kill!
If he wants to survive, he must hug the Japanese thighs, otherwise once the news is leaked, the Shanghai District action team will retaliate against him within 24 hours.
"Pah~pah~pah"
Hase Ryousuke, who was watching with cold eyes, didn't notice anything unusual about Chen Mingchu. A big stone finally fell to the ground, and then he clapped gently, showed a false smile and said something.
"Yo Xi, it's the best thing that Chen Sang is willing to surrender and cooperate with the empire. On behalf of the empire, I welcome your surrender. Please rest assured that we will protect your safety.
If necessary, Li Sang's special agent headquarters and even the elite garrison of the empire can be dispatched. As long as the gunmen of the military command dare to appear, the only fate waiting for them is death.
However, Li Sang, I am a businessman and I pay attention to costs when doing things. How much high-level intelligence you can disclose determines the level of protection you can receive. Do you understand? "
Li Shiqun nodded in agreement. The intelligence industry is like this. There is only one criterion to measure a person's value - the quantity and importance of intelligence.
No. 76 is not a charity organization and will not make great efforts to protect every defector. In that case, they would simply stop working. After all, every one of 76 is a defector.
When Chen Mingchu heard their response, he immediately became anxious and cursed secretly that the Japanese were really nothing, but in order to show their value, he had to tell all the information he knew.
"I said that I have a roster of people from Shanghai District. They all came to Shanghai from other places after the 26th year of the Republic of China. The reason is that the headquarters is worried that the former Shanghai Station personnel are too familiar with the Caogang, which is not conducive to confidentiality.
I am also familiar with the middle- and upper-class people in Jinling District, as well as Anqing. Stationmaster Cai of Anqing Station is a good friend of mine. I once went to Anqing Station to deliver a piece of information, and I still remember the address.
In addition, I can help you catch Zheng Shisong, the deputy district chief of Shanghai District. I have a good relationship with him and know where he lives. I have never told anyone about this. "
Military control of Shanghai District.
Jinling District.
Anqing Station.
These three district stations are important nodes for military control in the lower reaches of Changjiang. Once destroyed, the government will lose its intelligence control over this large area, and the consequences will be disastrous.
In turn, this is a great good thing for the Japanese and No. 76. Li Shiqun nodded lightly to Hase Ryosuke, and then looked at the woman on the table indifferently.
This matter was of great importance, and no fourth person could know about it except Chen Mingchu. He was about to notify his men to deal with the other party, but before he could get up, he saw people from Ding Mocun walking in.
