Lost and Spy

Chapter 437 A group of traitors

On November 1937, 11, the vanguard of the Japanese army launched an attack on Kunshan and Taicang. The speed of the advance far exceeded the imagination of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government.

On the same day, a very inconspicuous corner of a Shanghai newspaper reported a piece of news:
"Someone in a certain place in the Shanghai International Concession was shot, shot three times, and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment..."

No one will care about such news.

Since the establishment of the International Concession, there have been too many reports of corpses found in the Huangpu River.

Who cares?
Maybe one person will care:

Meng Shaoyuan!
According to the news from Sinclair, Chen Rongyang was discovered quickly and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Three bullets hit the right shoulder, one hit the right thigh, and one hit the right side of the back, embedded in the front rib.

After being sent to the hospital, after all-out rescue, the patient was still in danger, but there was hope that he could survive.

Meng Shaoyuan heaved a long sigh of relief when he heard this.

If...he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After Chen Rongyang was sent to the hospital, a Japanese visited the hospital that day and helped him pay all the medical expenses.

All sacrifices come with a price.

The rest is up to Chen Rongyang himself.

No one can help him.

With the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the Japanese expatriates in Shanghai became arrogant.

In their view, Shanghai is already their Shanghai.

Of course, what they have to face is the Chinese people's indifference and forbearable anger.

Not every Chinese will always have a few weak bones.

At the beginning of Japan's occupation of Shanghai, the Japanese special agencies and the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai began to plan a "Sino-Japanese Friendship Association".

Originally, the president wanted to invite Du Yuesheng, but he secretly went to Hong Kong.

Later, the Japanese thought of Huang Jinrong again. Although Huang Jinrong was a big gangster before, he finally managed to hold back in the face of big right and wrong. come out.

Then there is Zhang Xiaolin, one of the so-called "Three Tycoons of Shanghai".

However, Zhang Xiaolin is currently cooperating with Matsui Iwane to purchase resources such as cotton, grain, and coal for the Japanese, and the Japanese Army has already won them over in advance.

Ji Yunqing, who is known as the "new tycoon", is quite happy, but firstly, his weight is somewhat lacking, and secondly, he is also afraid that if he is a young bird, the military commander's killer will target him.

In the end, after many choices, the Japanese chose Huang Jingxuan, the former vice president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, as the president.

To be honest, Huang Jingxuan is not that kind of hard-core traitor, and he even did a lot of good things before. For example, when Sichuan suffered a famine, he was the first to call on the Shanghai business community to raise funds for Sichuan.

It's a pity that in the face of the coercion and temptation of the Japanese, he still couldn't stand it after all, and agreed to accept the position.From a businessman to a traitor.

"I met this person at Mrs. Qiangwei's." Meng Shaoyuan threw the file in his hand on the desk: "I remember, when the Battle of Songhu just broke out, he even organized a fundraiser. It's a pity."

"Is that to save his life?" Wu Jingyi asked.

"Keep him alive?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "No matter what he has done before, as long as he has been a traitor for a day, he will be a traitor for the rest of his life. Just after the fall of Shanghai, the Japanese couldn't wait to set up a "Sino-Japanese Friendship Association" , What else is the "New Asia Peace Promotion Association", so many Chinese are watching, this is also a temptation of the Japanese."

"Exploring?" Wu Jingyi was taken aback.

Meng Shaoyuan nodded slowly: "After the Battle of Songhu, we were busy lurking and assassinating, why did the Japanese rush to launch the 'Sino-Japanese Friendship Association' at this time, and made Huang Jingxuan the chairman? Because he has made great achievements in the past, the Japanese just want to use him to see how we react to such people, so as to deal with the future rule of Shanghai.”

Wu Jingyi understood: "Then I will arrange someone to assassinate him directly."

"Don't." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head: "It's too easy to assassinate him at home, but this will give the Japanese an excuse instead. When will this sorority be established? Where is the location?"

"At 16:10 am on the [-]th, at Jiaxing Road. In order to ensure a smooth meeting, the Japanese not only asked for the cooperation of the arrest house, but also specially found Ji Yunqing. Ji Yunqing sent a large number of his disciples to be responsible for the safety of the scene."

Meng Shaoyuan listened, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the Japanese are also very tight manpower, especially the consulate. After the death of Akagi, there is chaos, but the establishment time of this fraternity cannot be changed. As a result, they only We can invite a rogue leader like Ji Yunqing. Well, we will give them more roles. Get rid of Huang Jingxuan on the day they are established."

"Understood." Wu Jingyi said immediately: "Coincidentally, the New Asia Peace Promotion Association was also established on the same day. Are we doing things in two places at the same time?"

"It's not a coincidence." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "The consulate established a China-Japan Friendship Association, and the army immediately established a New Asia Peace Promotion Association. This is clearly opposing each other. Shanghai is a good place, and everyone wants to I want to step in. Assistant Wu, instead of doing this, why don't you just deepen the conflict between them?"

Wu Jingyi is a smart person, and she understood immediately: "You mean, move one, let one go? We moved the fraternity association, but there was nothing in the promotion association. It will definitely cause serious dissatisfaction from the consulate? You may even suspect that the army is Didn't you reach some kind of agreement with us?"

This kind of thing is not unusual at all.

Chinese and Japanese agents have been fighting in the Shanghai International Settlement for so many years, but they often reach short-term armistice agreements for some purpose.

Of course, this armistice agreement was tacit to each other without any written materials.

Wu Jingyi didn't quite understand one thing: "Director Meng, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just lost a general like Akagi Omoyuki, and his vitality has been seriously injured. According to normal logic, we should take action against the intelligence agencies of the Japanese army or navy."

Normal logic?

When did Meng Shaoyuan have normal logic?

He smiled and said: "In Shanghai, apart from those private spy organizations such as the Sakura Society and the Blood League, the Japanese Army, Navy, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs' spy organizations are our real enemies. As the old saying goes, beat a dog in the dark, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs The institutions in Shanghai have already been hurt by us, so we will simply beat him so that he cannot recover for a long time. This way, we can free up our hands and concentrate on dealing with the army and navy."

When Meng Shaoyuan said this, he raised his head and looked at Wu Jingyi: "But we can't kill them, maybe we can use them again sometime."

Wu Jingyi also smiled.

If anyone is targeted by young master Meng, it will be bad luck for eight lifetimes.

The assassination of Huang Jingxuan was not a particularly remarkable thing, the main significance was to give a warning to those who were about to become traitors.

"Ji Yunqing has been in frequent contact with the Japanese recently." Wu Jingyi continued to report in Nahui: "This man is also an official fan, and he only wants to get a job as an official. But what makes the Japanese more interested is The previous three tycoons. But Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong, Huang Jinrong thanked guests behind closed doors, and only Zhang Xiaolin became a traitor.

However, according to our analysis, although the Japanese are currently not very interested in Ji Yunqing, as the Japanese rule Shanghai longer, they are in urgent need of manpower, especially the Chinese, and they will use him sooner or later.Are we preparing in advance to kill Ji Yunqing? "

"It's okay to make preparations in advance, just kill him? There's no need for that." Without thinking about it, Meng Shaoyuan said, "Saving his life will be useful to us in the future. Send more of our people around him to monitor his every move at any time." With one move, everything about him is exposed to our sight."

"clear."

Wu Jingyi sighed suddenly: "Since the fall of Shanghai, the concession has become an isolated island, but in this isolated island, everyone's performance is too different. People like Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong still have backbone, but people like Zhang Xiaolin, Ji Yunqing, For people like Huang Jingxuan, the concept of nation and nationality does not exist in their minds, and being a traitor is what they most want to do."

"It's the same in every country." Meng Shaoyuan said nonchalantly, "It's just a group of traitors. The existence of these people is very harmful to the country. They can't be killed, cut off, and spring wind blows. But without this group of people, the Let's have some less fun."

Wu Jingyi didn't know what Meng Shaoyuan was thinking.

"By the way, Assistant Wu." Meng Shaoyuan remembered something: "Has the 'California Cold Mountain' arrived in Shanghai yet?"

"arrive."

"Where is the person I asked to stare at?"

"Stayed in the Chinachem Hotel in Sassoon Building."

"Sassoon Mansion?"

"Yes, this is what he requested. The Japanese originally wanted to arrange for him to live in another hotel, but because he is a Jew, he insisted on living in this mansion owned by the Jewish Sassoon. He lives in eight There were originally two Japanese guards at the entrance, but under his insistence, the Japanese guards were forced to move from the eighth floor to the first floor. The east hall of the first floor is for ABN Amro and Belgian Bank, and the west hall is for guests to come and go and rest Yes, the situation is more complicated."

Meng Shaoyuan listened carefully: "Where are our people?"

"I have arranged four special agents in the West Hall to closely monitor the Japanese."

"If I'm going to visit our guests at the Chinachem Hotel, is there a way to get in and out without being noticed by the Japanese?"

"Yes." Wu Jingyi replied without hesitation: "You are going, I suggest you go on the day when the China-Japan Friendship Association and the New Asia Peace Promotion Association were established. There."

"Okay." Meng Shaoyuan looked very satisfied: "To be honest, I am very interested in our guest."
