Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

“We just captured two Military Intelligence Bureau agents sent by Shancheng to assassinate Mr. Wang today.

It is still very dangerous for him to go out casually now."

Nanyun Masako was a little worried.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Qunshi reported to her about Huang Yiguang and Dong Qiyu. She felt that Li Qunshi handled the matter very well, especially he was very interested in Dong Qiyu's matter. He actually knew the people Zhou Yuanju knew. This rekindled her hope of cracking the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station.

She was still brooding over the incident with Zhou Yuanju. She had originally had great hopes of cracking down on the Military Control Commission's Shanghai station, but she didn't know where the mistake had gone wrong, and ended up failing.

She suspected that an insider had leaked the information, but she didn't know who the insider was?

She had no choice but to list Ichiro Ozawa, who had the most contact with Zhou Yuanju, as a suspect, but he was just a suspect and there was no evidence.

At that time, she was eager to solve the case and wanted to arrest Ichiro Ozawa and interrogate him severely, but Section Chief Takemiya disagreed.

He felt that Ichiro Ozawa was an old member of the Special High Police, and if he was arrested and tortured without any evidence, what if Ichiro Ozawa refused to admit it? This matter would not end well, and would not only make other people feel disheartened, but would also cause panic in the entire Special High Police, affecting everyone's work.

She felt that Section Chief Takemiya was right and that she was a bit too hasty, so she had no choice but to ask Yoshida Shigeru to secretly investigate Ichiro Ozawa, hoping to find some clues.

I don’t know how his investigation is going now, or whether he has found anything suspicious. I have to find time to ask him.

Kenji Oshima said:

"It seems that Shancheng has not given up on Mr. Wang. Several assassination attempts against him have failed, but they sent someone to assassinate him again. You are very efficient and solved the case so quickly.

However, Mr. Wang is leaving Shanghai for Beijing tomorrow, not because he wants to go, but because General Yingzo asked him to go.

The purpose of this trip is for him to persuade Wu Peifu, who lives in seclusion in Peking. You should know this person, right? "

"Of course I know that this man was born a scholar. In 1902, he joined the Beiyang Army and was appreciated by Cao Kun. He served as the battalion commander of the Third Division, regiment commander, and brigade commander.

During the 1917 Protection of the Constitution War, he led his troops into Hunan and was later promoted to the commander of the 1920rd Division. In , when the Zhili-Anhui War broke out, he served as the commander-in-chief of the front line and defeated the Anhui clique, helping the Zhili clique to take power. He was awarded the title of Deputy Inspector of Zhili, Shandong and Henan, and controlled the two provinces of Henan and Hubei.

In the First Zhi-Feng War in 1922, he served as the commander-in-chief and defeated Zhang Zuolin. He was promoted to the Inspector General of Zhi, Shandong and Henan, stationed in Luoyang to train troops and remotely control the Beijing government. His influence covered several provinces and he served concurrently as the Chief of the Army. At that time, he was known as the "King of Luoyang".

In 1923, he suppressed the Beijing-Hankou Railway Strike and supported Cao Kun's bribery in the presidential election in the same year. In 1924, during the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, he defected to the Beijing coup launched by Feng Yuxiang and fled south to Hubei after his defeat.

In 1926, he joined forces with Zhang Zuolin to fight against the Northern Expedition Army. After failing again, he lived in exile in Sichuan. Now he lives in Beijing.

Nanyun Masako spoke like she knew them all.

"How do you know so clearly?"

Kenji Oshima was a little surprised.

"What's so strange about this? Before I came to Shanghai, I accompanied my teacher Kenji Doi to visit him once in Beijing in order to persuade him to become the head of the North China Political Affairs Committee, because his influence in North China is very great, and he is the best candidate.

So I read his information, but that persuasion was unsuccessful and he refused to come out.

That was the first time he tried to persuade him. After that, my teacher went to his house to persuade him twice more, but the old guy was still stubborn and refused to agree. He even put a coffin in front of the hall. My teacher was at a loss as to what to do with him for a while.

It is not easy to kill him, after all, he has a great influence, and many powerful people are his students and former officials. Killing him will have a very bad impact, so we have to find another way.

Can Mr. Wang convince him this time?"

Nanyun Masako said with some disapproval.

"You don't know that it was your teacher and General Yingzuo who discussed sending Mr. Wang to Beiping to persuade Wu Peifu to come out of retirement.

The reason why we asked Mr. Wang to go was because he had a good personal relationship with Wu Peifu, and having him go might be a better way to convince him than for us to go.

Moreover, today is different from the past. This time the conditions are higher than before. He is allowed to serve as the vice-head of the newly established National Government, second only to Mr. Wang. This is not comparable to the position of chairman of the North China Political Affairs Committee that he was previously allowed to hold.

Moreover, in the new government, he and Mr. Wang had a division of labor. Mr. Wang was in charge of politics, while he was in charge of military affairs. They both held great power.

With such favorable conditions and judging from his past experience, he is a person with a strong desire for power, so there is no doubt that he will be tempted.

Mr. Wang is a good speaker with strong persuasive power. Moreover, they are both Chinese and understand each other better, so it is very likely that Mr. Wang will be able to persuade him during his trip to Peiping.

General Kagesawa and I also thought so when we discussed it."

Kenji Oshima said confidently.

"That being said, it is indeed possible."

Nanyun Masako nodded.

She also changed her previous idea and was full of expectations. If Mr. Wang could successfully convince Wu Peifu this time, it would fulfill her teacher's long-cherished wish and it would mean that hard work pays off.

The teacher will definitely be very happy!

Kenji Oshima suggested a toast to this event, and Masako Nagumo readily agreed. The two clinked their glasses with laughter and drank them all in one gulp.

When Yuan Ye heard this, he was also surprised. He certainly knew the seriousness of the matter.

If Wu Peifu were persuaded, the consequences would be disastrous. With his influence, many of his disciples and former officials would likely follow him, forming an avalanche and joining the puppet Nationalist government to become traitors. Many of them would be generals leading troops, which would have a huge adverse impact on the anti-Japanese cause.

What will happen?

Yuan Ye was frightened at the thought. He must tell the Shancheng Headquarters this information as soon as possible and let them take immediate measures to prevent Wu Peifu from surrendering to the enemy. As for what measures to take, he had no control over it. He believed that the headquarters would definitely find a way.

When Yuan Ye thought of this, he no longer felt like drinking. Anyway, he had already met Xinzi tonight and had a very pleasant chat with her, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

He finished the wine in his glass, put it down, and said to Nobuko:

"I've eaten and drunk enough, and I have something else to do in the evening, so I should leave."

After saying that, he took out a 50 yen bill from his pocket and handed it to Nobuko.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight."

Xinzi took the money happily. She didn't expect there were so many. It was beyond her expectation!

The general tip is 10 yen, and it is very good if the customer can give 20 yen. I didn’t expect the customer to give 50 yen at once, which is enough for a whole night.

She remembered that the last time someone gave her such a large tip was from a Chinese man named Yuan.

Mr. Nakamura is such a generous man, I was right!

I'm so lucky today. It would be great if I had more customers like this!

"thanks, thanks!"

Xinzi bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.

"Mr. Nakamura, please come back to me next time. I will serve you to your satisfaction!"

"Well, maybe I'll come tomorrow."

Yuan Ye smiled.

I thought to myself that I should come here more often, as I might happen to hear important information.

"Really? Then I'll wait for you tomorrow!"

Nobuko said happily.
