Lost and Spy

Chapter 832 Assassination Secret Order
Beginning in August 1938, all battlefields in the Battle of Wuhan engaged the enemy on all fronts!
This world-renowned battle has entered the most critical moment.

By the end of August, the war had reached a fever pitch.

General Xue Yue, then commander of the 60st Corps in the Ninth Theater, led the 70th, [-]th, No.[-] and No.[-] armies to face the [-]th Division of the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese invaders were hit hard!

During the same period, under the command of Meng Shaoyuan, the Military Command Shanghai Special Office regained its advantage.

"Juntong faced some of the most dangerous moments during the War of Resistance, and the establishment of the Doihara Agency in 1938 was one of them. And it was Meng's performance that successfully saved the day... and after this incident, Meng His prestige has once again been improved to the greatest extent. After being called "the strongest agent on the surface" by the Japanese, he is also known as "China's most outstanding and outstanding agent in 30 years." His personal prestige has reached its peak for the first time..."

In an unpublished memoir, this series of events from July to the end of August 1938 was later described in this way.

There was an undeniable element of luck in the process of regaining the advantage.

For example, the arrival of the international visiting delegation organized by Japan is tantamount to giving Meng Shaoyuan an excellent opportunity out of thin air.And Daniel's unexpected but crucial chess piece also played an unimaginable role.

Otherwise, Meng Shaoyuan would never be able to make proper arrangements.

However, once an opportunity arises, Meng Shaoyuan firmly grasps it and makes timely adjustments and deployments according to the development of the situation.

This is one of the reasons he is called "excellent".

On the Japanese side, with the rescue of the Raleigh Garni couple, they also resumed their deployment in Shanghai under the command of Kenji Doihara.

Before, a large number of contact points were destroyed, which greatly damaged the strength of the Japanese secret service in Shanghai.One goes up and down the other, Kenji Doihara is not as full of ambitions as when he first came to Shanghai.

After the full-scale war in Shanghai, once the balance of power between China and Japan is broken, the most urgent consideration is how to go forward in the future.

Kenji Doihara is obviously also an excellent commander. He didn't become furious because of the defeat, lost his mind, and desperately wanted revenge.

He chose to be low-key and forbearing.

Behind this low-key forbearance is to accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and launch a choppy counterattack again.

"In the public concession, the Japanese contact points we have mastered have all become very honest and more cautious when traveling." In Wu Jingyi's report, she said: "In the Japanese-controlled area, the Japanese's actions have also begun. It has become sluggish, and the frequency of searches that used to occur in the past is now much lower, and our living environment in the Japanese-controlled area has greatly improved."

"Kenji Doihara is a very capable person." Meng Shaoyuan pondered: "If he launches a crazy counterattack now, I am not afraid, but he is so calm, that is what worries me the most...don't care about temporary gains and losses , retracting his head into the thick tortoise shell like a tortoise, and when the necessary time comes, he will bite his opponent hard..."

There was no optimistic expression on his face: "At the same time, people in the Japanese control area, the quieter they are, the more vigilant they are. Kenji Doihara will not give up so easily, he is waiting, waiting for our people to relax Be vigilant, think that the world is peaceful, if Kenji Doihara strikes again at that time, it will be a fatal blow, and our people will die!"

"I'll let them know."

Wu Jingyi then took out a telegram: "This is Director Dai... Ah, a telegram from Director Dai himself!"

Now, Dai Li can no longer be called Director Dai, but Director Dai.

In August 1938, the chairman officially expanded the Second Division of the Military Commission's Survey and Statistics Bureau into the Military Commission's Survey and Statistics Bureau, referred to as the Military Statistics Bureau.

He Yaozu, the director of the attendant office of the Chairman of the Military Commission, served as the director of the bureau concurrently, and Dai Li, who was the former director of the second division of the bureau, was promoted to the deputy director.In fact, Dai Li is in charge, headquartered in Luojiawan, Zhonger Road, CQ City, Sichuan Province.

"Juntong", the same name, but Dai Li's rights have been further expanded.

The organizational structure and personnel arrangements of the Military Statistics Bureau in Wuhan were as follows:

Director He Yaozu; Deputy Director Dai Li; Chief Secretary Zheng Jiemin; Secretaries Mao Renfeng, Chen Shixian, Liu Qirui, Zeng Jian, Gu Zhaofen.

He Zhiyuan, chief of the first section, is in charge of intelligence.

Meng Shaoyuan, chief of the second section, is in charge of operations.

Yu Duo, chief of the third section, is in charge of justice.

Wei Daming, chief of the fourth section, is in charge of telecommunications.

General Affairs Section Chief Yang Jirong.Li Xiaobai, head of the personnel department.

Zhang Ye, the leader of the security team.

Accountants Xu Renji and Lin Yaomin.Cashiers Zhang Yanfu and Mao Zhongliang.

A huge organization that played outstanding feats in the Anti-Japanese War was formally finalized.

At that time, there was a strange phenomenon in the military command, that is, the director was only in name, and the deputy director was really in charge.The chief of the second section with the most power is not in the headquarters or in Wuhan, but in Shanghai.

Meng Shaoyuan also has various titles. Some call him Director Meng, some call him Section Chief Meng, and others call him Boss Meng.In private, his cronies also call him Young Master Meng.

He is a major, but he also has the rank of colonel.

Theoretically, his special office is under the management of Zhou Weilong, the head of the latent area of ​​the Military Command Shanghai, and Cheng Yiming, the secretary, but his status as the chief of the second section of the headquarters makes him very special. It stands to reason that Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming have to listen to him in many things .

Meng Shaoyuan is such a complicated person.

After receiving the telegram from Wu Jingyi, Meng Shaoyuan looked at it, and his face was a little unhappy.

Japan has a so-called "Southern Tang and Northern Wu" plan. The southern refers to the former prime minister and old revolutionary Tang Shaoyi, while Wu refers to the more famous Wu Peifu.

After the establishment of the Special Committee on China, Kenji Doihara personally directed the work of Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu in an attempt to make them traitors.

After Kenji Doihara arrived in Shanghai, he personally visited Tang Shaoyi many times and strongly invited him to come out to organize a national puppet government.

The national government is also trying its best to prevent him from becoming a traitor.

The Guangzhou Anti-Enemy Support Association called Tang Shaoyi in early March 1938, asking him to get out of the siege of the evil forces and return to the south soon, but Tang Shaoyi did not reply.

On March 3, people from all walks of life in Guangzhou and associations held a meeting on the second floor of the Provincial Public Education Center. At the meeting, various social organizations in Guangzhou jointly urged Tang Shaoyi to return to the south. , will have a bad reputation for thousands of years", and remitted 19 yuan for travel expenses.

Tang Shaoyi still ignored it, and refused to accept the travel expenses.

Living in Shanghai, an isolated island surrounded by Japanese aggressors, he did not want to offend any party, so he adopted an ambiguous attitude with all parties, which had to arouse speculation from many parties and put himself in danger.

Dai Li's telegram stated that Tang Shaoyi's every move should be closely monitored, and once it was found that he might defect to the enemy, he would be assassinated immediately, and he must not be used by the Japanese!
"Tang Shaoyi, Tang Shaoyi."

Meng Shaoyuan put the telegram aside: "This person is considered a veteran, and his qualifications far exceed the chairman of the committee. He always wants to be a tumbler, swinging from side to side, cutting tofu with a knife, and no one wants to offend. But it is this personality that may kill him. I have been in Shanghai for so long, why haven't I visited him? I just don't want to have anything to do with this person, and instead put myself in a passive position."

"What Director Dai means is that we should get rid of him decisively." Wu Jingyi reminded cautiously.

"I won't do this, I won't do it." Meng Shaoyuan shook his head again and again: "Even if this thing is successful, it's not flattering, but it makes me look bad. There are not a few of his former students and officials in the government, and his best friends."

"Then we don't do anything?"

"Don't do it, if we don't do it, someone will do it." Meng Shaoyuan clicked the telegram: "I believe that this telegram was not sent to me alone. Zhou Weilong and Cheng Yiming also received it. Let them do it. By the way, let them leave Shanghai."

what?
Wu Jingyi wondered if she had heard it wrong, and after a while she said, "Let them leave Shanghai?"

"We have three giants in Shanghai, but these three giants do not live up to their names. They each do their own thing." Meng Shaoyuan said lightly: "The fist that could have been tightly clenched is now loosened. Strong people, but judging from the current situation, they still have to control the power in their own hands, this time is an opportunity."

"Director Meng." Wu Jingyi said in a daze: "This is a struggle between your senior management, it's best not to tell me."

"You, Wu Jingyi, have never regarded me as a high-level person." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "As for me, to be honest, you are my subordinate and my friend. There are some things that you can't say to others, but to your own friends. Say."

Wu Jingyi was actually a little moved.

Who is this person in front of you?Master Meng who has power over the beach.Director Meng, who can make thousands of people bleed in a fit of anger.The strongest agent on the surface that makes Japan fear.

But he regards himself as a friend?

"What's more, our relationship is unusual." Meng Shaoyuan said suddenly, "I slept in your house."

The original emotion disappeared in an instant, and Wu Jingyi almost gritted her teeth: "You are really not my boss, you are just a rascal. If you tell about this, my husband will know about it, and I will fight hard with you!"

"Fight it, fight it, the Japanese want my life, and my own people want my life, that's fine." Meng Shaoyuan's words sounded like he was joking, but there was no sign of a joke:
"The Big Three? Pooh, my own people fuck my own people. I used to let them go, but they sent Mr. Dai one piece of black material after another, trying to screw me up. I don't know how to play This set, but I am not willing to play this set. Okay, really want to play? I will play with you, and I will accompany you as long as you want to play!"

Wu Jingyi found that Young Master Meng was really angry.

Soon, the existing structure of military command in Shanghai will undergo major changes!
