Chapter 214: Infiltrate the Military Command
"Hmph, why haven't I seen them care so much about the Japanese?" Yan Lei snorted coldly in dissatisfaction. He had deep grudges against the Military Control Commission, Tan Si and Yan Lei.
Of course, Lu Xiyan doesn't like the Military Control Commission very much, and Tang Jin and others are exceptions.
"We can learn some of the methods and techniques of the Military Control Commission, but they cannot learn how to do things. Our people should be self-disciplined, act together in a timely manner, and be more careful."
"clear."
"Go and have a break early."
...
Or in the lounge area of Peninsula Hotel lobby.
Chu Ze came over on time.
When Gu Xiaobai saw the blue suit back, he immediately told others what he had done and trotted all the way.
"Mr. Chu, you are here." Gu Xiaobai said respectfully. He is a little man. The way for small man to survive is to bow his head when it is time to bow his head.
Besides, this did not harm him.
"The fourth brother has given an order to ask you to join the military commander who promised the military commander, but you know who you are, right?" Chu Ze said.
"I understand. Although I joined the Military Control Commission, I still do things for the Fourth Master." Gu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment and immediately understood.
"Just understand, I may be based in Hong Kong in the future." Chu Ze said, "You don't need to report what the Military Control Commission asks you to do every day, but you must do everything in detail and cannot hide it."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu, I know how to do it."
"If you have something to do, I will come to you." Chu Ze stood up and said, "Also, take care of your things and cause trouble. I can't save you."
"Yes, I understand, Mr. Chu, please walk slowly..."
...
At noon, Tang Jin called Lu Xiyan to the Political Department of the Law Catching Room again.
"It's noon, I want to take a break. There will be surgery in the afternoon. Brother Tang, you called me over again. What's the matter?"
"The first thing is that Boss Dai agreed to the deal with the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group. He sent a special commissioner to Shanghai for detailed negotiations." Tang Jin said.
Lu Xiyan frowned slightly: "When will I say?"
"It's probably only within two or three days. You know, the front line has become a mess, and it's a bit difficult to cross it directly." Tang Jin said, "But, Boss Dai is very human, and he has his own way."
"Well, okay." Lu Xiyan nodded. Since someone has been sent to discuss, let's talk.
"The second thing is that Kenji Doihara will come to the French Concession tomorrow to formally meet Tang Shaochuan." Tang Jin said solemnly.
"What, Kenji Doihara officially met with Tang Shaochuan?" Lu Xiyan was very surprised. The Tang Mansion has been quite calm these days, and most of the visitors were blocked outside the door.
"The security of Kenji Doihara is in charge of the Japanese Army Gendarmerie in Shanghai, and the Special High School Department is responsible for formulating security plans. However, the security work in the French Concession requires us to cooperate, so they notified us in advance, and the Political Department took over this task on our side." Tang Jin said, "What the superior means is that things like Keiyoshi Haruki can no longer happen."
"You mean, are we also protecting Kenji Doihara's safety?"
"Yes, but only within the French Concession. If you leave the French Concession, you will not be under our jurisdiction." Tang Jin said, "However, it is impossible to assassinate Kenji Doihara. This time there will be a large number of Japanese military police plainclothes accompanying you."
Lu Xiyan nodded. If this is the case, the calculation may not be able to achieve the goal if it is to take on an action team.
And even if they kill Kenji Doihara, what can they do? They will send another person from Japan. They will not change their policy toward China just because of one person.
If this were to assassinate the Japanese Emperor, it might be possible.
"So, tomorrow you will also be on standby in the hospital to deal with possible emergencies at any time." Tang Jin explained.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Lao Lu, the Japanese are constantly putting pressure on the Ministry of Industry and Public Administration Bureau, requiring the plainclothes of the Japanese military police to arrest people in the concession, and also asked us to issue gun certificates to them, involving the police power in the concession. Now Britain, France, the United States and other countries have not agreed, but no one knows how long it can last." Tang Jin said helplessly.
Internationally, the United States pursues isolationism. Anyway, as long as it does not harm the interests of the United States, I will not care about anything. European countries cannot manage their own affairs. In Asia, they are even more powerless and appease against Japan, which is just an ominous relationship with Japan on the surface.
Lu Xiyan knew that Tang Jin said this to him, and hoped that he would hand the words to the "military advisor" and never cause trouble tomorrow, otherwise it would be difficult for everyone to do it.
Come out of the law arresting room.
Lu Xiyan dialed a number at a telephone booth on the street.
"Sir, will he have any problems with Consultant Lu?"
"What's the problem? Our interests are now tied together. Do you think he will betray us?" Tang Jin smiled and said, "How did he pick himself out about the matter between Takeuchi Yunko and Haruki Keiyin?"
"I'm talking about his butt. Which side is his butt?" Qi Huan asked.
"No matter which side he is, his identity is always a Chinese." Tang Jin was silent for a while and said slowly.
Qi Huan couldn't help but nodded.
...
Lu Xiyan made this call naturally to ask Hu Yunzhi.
He didn't need to speak, and he gently knocked on the phone a few times, and Hu Yunzhi understood what it meant.
This is not a Morse code, it is the code they agreed upon. Even if the world's top password decryption experts come, they cannot decipher it.
Moses Cafe.
Half an hour later, Hu Yunyi walked in with a long shirt, with a layer of sweat on his forehead, and obviously he was a little anxious when he rushed over.
"Call me here in such a hurry, what's the matter?" Hu Yunzhi asked.
"Don't worry, drink a glass of iced lemonade first, and order it specifically for you." Lu Xiyan waved his hand and delivered a glass of iced lemonade.
"If you have something to say, I'm busy in the store." Hu Yunzhi took a sip of ice lemonade and said.
"Tang Jin just told me that Kenji Doihara is coming to the French Concession tomorrow and meet with Tang Shaochuan in person." Lu Xiyan lowered his voice.
"Time, place?"
Seeing Hu Yunzhi's expression was not at all surprised. Lu Xiyan felt that Hu Yunzhi might have known the news.
"Did you know it long ago?"
"Isn't this what you said?" Hu Yunzhi was stunned. Where did he reveal his flaws?
"Okay, we won't fight for this anymore. The Japanese military police are responsible for security and have already called for the pharmacist house. The meeting should be at the Tang Mansion or some other secret place, but it will definitely not be in a public place. As for time, it's hard to say." Lu Xiyan said while stirring the coffee with a spoon.
"Well, I know this." Hu Yunzhi nodded.
"Did Tang Shaochuan be considered a traitor?"
"It's hard to say now, but Kenji Doihara came to Shanghai this time to form a new puppet government. Tang Shaochuan was the candidate they looked for." Hu Yunzhidao.
"Are those rumors true?"
"It depends on what the person behind it thinks." Hu Yunzhi's way.
"I understand." Lu Xiyan nodded. Whether it was intentional or unintentional leaks, testing the reactions of the people was also a political means.
"You have noticed the price of cotton recently and see if there are any channels to get a batch." Hu Yunzhi said, "Winter is coming soon. The troops lack cotton coats. Cotton is a strategic material, and it is difficult to obtain it on the market."
"What do you mean, imported cotton?"
"Well, you have overseas relations, so it's best to have this channel. Of course, this is not a task, it's just a request." Hu Yunzhidao, "We can find a way to deal with the funding issue."
"Okay, I'll try to think of a solution, but there's no guarantee that it will work." Lu Xiyan nodded.
In medicine, medicinal cotton is also needed, and the demand is very large, but this requires higher quality of cotton. Importing cotton and producing medicinal cotton seems to be a good excuse.
"By the way, the Yasha has arrived on the axle safely and has joined the local team of responders, so let's rest assured." Hu Yunzhi reported.
"That's good. The Military Control Commission also agreed to our transaction plan and has sent someone to Shanghai to discuss this matter with the Iron Blood Anti-Traitor Group." Lu Xiyan said, "I will ask Tan Si to come forward to talk to him."
"Well, OK, I get it."
...
"Brother An Zi, I received a telegram from White today. The transaction time is set at around 12 o'clock tomorrow night, and the location of the sea area is the same as the previous two times."
"Well, you come to host this time, I won't go to the company." Lu Xiyan said.
"I'm the only one?"
"Yan Lei will assist you."
"Well, okay, I will do it." Meng Fanxing nodded. Lu Xiyan was in charge of the previous two times. This time she will be commanded independently, so the pressure will naturally be much greater.
"Meimei, you can do it." Lu Xiyan encouraged with a smile.
...
The next morning, Lu Xiyan went to work as usual.
Shortly after arriving at the office, he received a call from Tang Jin that Kenji Doihara's convoy had already entered the public concession from Waibaido Bridge.
There are four cars in total, except for the different license plate numbers, the rest are the same.
No one knows which car Doihara Kenji is sitting in.
This time the security measures are more stringent.
If there was no previous kidnapping of Kyuki Keiyin, Kenji Doihara would not want to go to the Yu Mansion to meet with Yu Shaochuan publicly.
Doing this now is also trying to put some pressure on Tang Shaochuan.
He knew very well what kind of person Tang Shaochuan was, so he chose him as the target of his recommendation. Tang Shaochuan was a veteran of the Kuomintang. He was a square, conceited and stubborn, and had a hint of idealist tragedy.
Such people either do not do things or do things at the same time, but they do not care about it and go all the way to the dark.
Even if it is not understood by others, he will persevere.
Either it will be crushed to pieces and left a bad reputation for thousands of years, or it will be kept in history and will be remembered forever.
A person's personality defects can be exploited, and the personality defects of politicians are particularly fatal, and Kenji Doihara knows this very well.
He was confident that he would convince Tang Shaochuan to agree to cooperate with the empire and create peace.
