Lost and Spy

Chapter 505 Officer's Compartment
The air in the train smelled a little bad.

The carriage was full of Japanese soldiers, Meng Shaoyuan and Manako sitting here seemed a bit out of tune.

Sitting in the train was part of the Japanese Shigeto detachment.

Just now, when entering the station, the man who was working as a coolie was named Liu Fuqin. He was an outside agent of the military command and was not on the record, but he had given them a lecture before.

Did he recognize himself?
Must have recognized it.

Because when he was working, he looked at him several times, and was kicked severely by the Japanese supervisor because of this.

Meng Shaoyuan always felt a little uncomfortable.

It doesn't feel good.

The defection of agents is inevitable, especially outside agents, because they have not received formal training, they all use their original work to cover up their true identities, and they don't know how to protect themselves, so they are more likely to be exposed.

And these outside agents joined the army for various reasons, some even just for a living. Once their identities are exposed, they are more likely to defect after being arrested.

You can't expect them to be as strong as steel.

What about Liu Fuqin?

Meng Shaoyuan's bad feeling has never subsided since he got on the train.

If the most worrying thing will really happen, then once the train arrives in Nanjing, it will be caught in the urn.

No.

This situation must be avoided.

The whistle sounded and the train started slowly.

Meng Shaoyuan stood up and moved around a bit: "I will walk around casually."

"Yeah." Makoto nodded obediently.

Meng Shaoyuan walked slowly towards the first-class carriage.

The military trains are full of Japanese soldiers, so there is no need to worry about guards.

Meng Shaoyuan swaggered into the first-class carriage.

Dude, it's really all officers.

The youngest are ensigns.

There are many empty seats in the carriage.

"who!"

Seeing a stranger breaking in, the second lieutenant sitting closest to the door of the carriage stood up.Seeing the old-fashioned military uniform Meng Shaoyuan was wearing, his attitude became a little more friendly:
"This is the officer's compartment. No entry."

"Ah, I'm here to see General Asama."

"Which General Asama?"

"General Asama Akutagawa of the Asama Detachment."

"You know him?"

"Yes, we are very good friends."

"General Asama is not on this train."

Meng Shaoyuan was "disappointed".

"Let him in."

At this time, a senior officer sitting in front said.

Meng Shaoyuan smiled inwardly.

His voice was so loud just now that he wanted others to hear him.

Although it is not far from Shanghai to Nanjing, it will take a while after all.

In this era without mobile phones and computers, it is actually very boring for people who often take trains.

They are often willing to find someone to talk to, and they can resolve this boredom to the greatest extent.

As long as an officer here is interested in himself, that's it.What's more, the old-fashioned military uniform from the Russo-Japanese War period that I was wearing on my body made it easier for others to be interested in it.

Successful.

"Your Excellency, Officer." Meng Shaoyuan came to the Colonel.

"Ah, sit down." The Colonel asked him to sit opposite him and asked his name.

As usual, Meng Shaoyuan was talking nonsense.

"General Asama, your friend?"

The Colonel's name was Shinsaku Hiraga, and when he heard that "Rukawa Kaede"'s grandfather had participated in the Russo-Japanese War, he even bowed slightly to show his respect.

"Yes, we are friends." Meng Shaoyuan replied eloquently: "I remember the last time we met, he was repairing in Shanghai, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. Ah, he was also in charge of guarding a group of Chinese prisoners of war. I just heard something shallow People from the Ma detachment are in this car. I just want to try my luck and see if I can see General Asama."

Having said that, Shinsaku Hiraga has no doubts: "I think you made a mistake. I am in command of the 2nd Transportation Monitoring Team of the Judo Detachment. After the battle order of the Fifth Army was lifted, the whole detachment was transferred back to Taiwan for repairs. We were sent to Go to Nanjing to coordinate governance. General Asama and his detachment are currently fighting in the AH area, and I don't think you will see him for the time being."

"Ah, I'm really confused." Meng Shaoyuan looked a little embarrassed: "Then, I won't bother you, officer, goodbye."

"Oh, just sit here, there are a lot of empty seats. The air outside is very bad and turbid."

Isn't this what Meng Shaoyuan has been waiting for?
"Your Excellency, thank you very much." Meng Shaoyuan hesitated: "However, I still have a companion outside."

"Go and bring her in. Bring their luggage in together."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

After a while, Makoto was brought in.

She was still very surprised, how could "Rukawa-kun" sit in the same carriage with these imperial officers?

If there was a little bit of doubt about "Rukawa Kaede" before, then when seeing such a beautiful and energetic imperial girl with him, the last trace of doubt in Shinsaku Hiraga's heart disappeared.

"Ah, sir, I remember I had a nice thing with me."

Meng Shaoyuan took out a bottle of wine from his luggage.

Hiraga Shinsaku's eyes lit up.

Laurel wreath!
The famous Japanese sake "Gekekikan" in Kyoto!
The best sake in Japan is "White Crane" from Kobe and "Shengwa Ozeki" from Nishinomiya.

But no matter from which point of view, the reputation of "Yueguiguan" is not inferior to these two wines.

Besides, "Rukawa Kaede" was originally from Kyoto, and with the arrogance of Kyoto people, of course he disdains to drink foreign wine.

"This is really great." Hiraga Shinsaku was overjoyed: "It's been a long time since I fought in China. I haven't had authentic hometown wine. Ah, cup, bring a cup."

When two cups were brought, Meng Shaoyuan poured them full, and raised the cup himself first: "Your Excellency, I respect you."

"Thank you, Rukawa-kun, there is no better gift than this!"

……

"The train will arrive at 12 noon."

"Remember, no matter what, you must catch the target person. Also, this is a military column, and it's all soldiers who were newly transferred to Nanjing to fight bloody battles for the empire. There must be no big disturbances. After locking the target, secretly arrest."

……

Colonel Shinsaku Pinghe thought he had met a friend who had never met a friend on this train.

No matter what "Rukawa Kaede" said, he could always touch his heart.

It's just a pity that it seems that "Rukawa Kaede" doesn't hold too much alcohol, and after only one drink, he was already drunk, and shouted loudly, "Long live the Great Japanese Empire, China must be defeated".

When it was time for the second glass of wine, he was only half drunk, and he even spilled all the wine on his body.

"He's drunk." Colonel Hiraga Shinsaku smiled, "Xiao Lin, find a set of your clothes and help him change. Remember to take down the officer's badge and unit number."

"Yes." Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin stood up and supported Meng Shaoyuan: "Mr. Rukawa, come with me to change clothes. It's very cold and you'll get sick."

"Long live the Great Japanese Empire!"

Meng Shaoyuan held up an empty cup and yelled again.

Manako pursed her lips and smiled, Rukawa-kun is so cute even when drunk...

……

"The military column has arrived."

"Get ready, don't let it go, this is what Madam Akagi specially told you."

……

The speed of the train began to slow down.

Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be more sober: "Your Excellency, I'm really sorry, I made a fool of myself."

"Young man, be presumptuous, it's nothing."

"Ah, your clothes, I will return them to you after I clean them."

"Don't take it to heart, and return it to Second Lieutenant Xiao Lin when there is fate in the future."

A bottle of sake was all gone.

Hiraga Shinsaku looked out the window: "Rukawa-kun, Manako, follow me in a while. The train station is too messy, and I heard that the spies in China are still very active."

"Okay, thank you very much, Your Excellency."

……

The train has stopped.

On the platform, a few Japanese spies stared unblinkingly at the people getting out of the car for fear of omissions.

In the past, the Japanese special agency in the capital of China was so badly damaged that it was almost impossible to gain a foothold.

Now, the empire has just occupied Nanjing, and the Japanese special agencies have only begun to recover.

In addition, the agencies entering Nanjing are mainly from the army, and the strength of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is too weak here.

Moreover, Akagi Caisha is a woman, a woman who has not been officially authorized, and there are only a few spies she can mobilize.

It is too difficult for so few people to stare at the whole train.

"The enemy will not go to the place where the supplies are piled up. Focus on the passenger compartment."

"Yes. Ah, do you need someone to keep an eye on the officer's car?"

"Do you think that our enemies will stay with the officers of the Great Japanese Empire? The ones who came to Nanjing this time belong to the heavy rattan detachment. It is impossible for our enemies to approach them!"

……

A group of officers surrounded Hiraga Shinsaku and came down from the carriage.

Meng Shaoyuan, who was wearing the pick-up logo, was among them.

What a wonderful journey.

It was the part where he pretended to be drunk, wasn't his performance too exaggerated?

Acting still needs to be honed.

Looking at the platform in the distance, several people were constantly searching among the crowd getting off the train.

Yes, it was indeed exposed.

That Liu Fuqin can be sure that he betrayed himself.

Moreover, the news that he is in Nanjing will spread soon.

This trip to Nanjing has been in deep danger since boarding this military column.

With the "help" of Manako, Captain Habara, and Shinsaku Hiraga, I have been safe and sound for the time being.

But what about the future?
God knows!
Followed by Hiraga Jinzuo, the journey was unimpeded, and he left Nanjing Station smoothly.

Those Japanese spies are still looking for you stupidly, right?
"Rukawa-kun." It seems that Hiraga Shinsaku still has some reluctance to say: "This is it, I will immediately gather the team, and hope that we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

"Yes, officer." Meng Shaoyuan said seriously: "I think we will meet in the future, and I will invite you to drink."

"Okay, okay." Hiraga Shinsaku said with a smile on his face, "But I hope that when we meet next time, your drinking capacity will not be so bad."

"I think I'll try!"
