This was the second day after the Soviet pilots arrived in Shanghai.

It seems that the Japanese have not discovered the existence of these foreign pilots.

But how to send them out safely?

This requires careful planning.

There is no news about Mr. Gong.

Has this person arrived in Shanghai?

How is safety now?

Nothing.

Meng Shaoyuan found that inspectors have great power and can easily give people a sense of mystery, which often makes communication between them not smooth.

Since the Japanese already know the existence of Mr. Gong, they will definitely try their best to capture this man.

June 27, 1938, afternoon.

Meng Shaoyuan went to the International Hotel and chatted with Colonel Anatolsky for a while.

The mood of Soviet pilots is relatively stable.

Some people who developed physical problems during long journeys also received timely treatment.

Anatolysky was still very satisfied with China's arrangements. He just asked when they could leave Shanghai so that he could reunite with his companions who were fighting in Wuhan as soon as possible and attack those barbaric Japanese!

Meng Shaoyuan gave a clear reply that within ten days, they would be sent out of Shanghai safely no matter what.

Colonel Anatolsky originally wanted to stay with Meng Shaoyuan for dinner, but when he thought of the colonel's drinking capacity, Meng Shaoyuan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb, and quickly found an excuse to decline.

Just kidding, if you drink again, you will really die here.

As soon as we arrived at the lobby downstairs, Manager Ge was already waiting there: "Boss Meng, Manager Xu Chengbo called and asked you to go to his place immediately as soon as your affairs here are settled."

"Oh, I got it." Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "Lao Ge, my guests must be taken care of. If there is a suspicious person on their floor, they will be captured secretly. If they encounter resistance, they will be killed without mercy."

"Yes, Boss Meng."

Meng Shaoyuan was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "Lao Ge, you have accumulated a lot of wealth in Shanghai for so many years, right?"

Manager Ge immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. I bought a few houses and rented them to others. I actually made a little money."

"It's good to make money, who doesn't want to make money." Meng Shaoyuan said immediately: "If you believe me, in the past two years, I have sold all my houses and other real estate properties, exchanged them for US dollars, pounds and gold, and deposited them in foreign banks."

Manager Ge was startled, and then he understood something: "Boss Meng, are you saying that the situation in Shanghai has changed?"

"Not for the time being." Meng Shaoyuan couldn't tell him clearly: "In the past two years, the concession will still be running around and dancing, but it will be hard to say in the future. I heard that the United States has encountered a major financial crisis, and it has been

It hasn't gotten over yet, the housing prices are extremely low, you can use the money to buy a few houses in the United States and they will be your landlord."

"Hey, I'll do as you say." Manager Ge didn't hesitate at all: "I'm also thinking about sending my wife and children to a foreign country or Hong Kong. It's convenient for me to work here alone. But you also know my identity.

, I can’t leave.”

"Be prepared in advance." Meng Shaoyuan patted his shoulder: "I am alone in Shanghai. Things will really happen when the time comes. It will be convenient to run. I personally approved it."

"Then I really have to thank you, Boss Meng."

Manager Ge is somewhat different from other members of the military command organization. When he was recruited into the organization, he was already married and had a family, so he was considered a non-staff member of the military command.

However, he has performed his duties faithfully over the years and has always had a good reputation, and he is basically regarded as a member of the military uniform.

…

"Boss Meng."

As soon as he saw Meng Shaoyuan entering the company, Xu Chengbo hurriedly greeted him.

"What's so urgent?"

"Someone from Chongqing is coming."

Xu Chengbo lowered his voice and said.

"Oh, is it so?"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately followed Xu Chengbo into his office.

"Chief Meng!"

In the office, a dashing young man stood up with a bang.

Instead of calling Meng Shaoyuan "director", those who call him "section chief" are considered "old people".

"Qiu Xingchang!"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled, then a smile appeared on his face: "Why did you come to Shanghai?"

"My subordinates miss Section Chief Meng all the time, so this time I just had the opportunity, and I rushed to Shanghai immediately so that I could listen to Section Chief Meng's teachings in person."

"roll!"

Meng Shaoyuan laughed and scolded: "I found that your flattery skills have improved a lot."

Xu Chengbo arranged for the two of them, walked out wisely, and closed the office door.

He is a close confidant of Boss Meng, but he mainly helps him with the smuggling business.

The less you know about military affairs, the better.

"Why did you come here?" Meng Shaoyuan asked as soon as he sat down.

"Xingchang doesn't know much about the others, but I know that this is Section Chief Meng's property. Manager Xu often exchanges telegrams and letters with our Qiu family, and has been to Chongqing twice, so I thought this place was the safest."

Qiu Xingchang's words made Meng Shaoyuan's expression become serious: "Tell me, what special task makes you so nervous?"

"Chief Meng, you probably know that Director Dai sent an inspector to Shanghai, right?"

Meng Shaoyuan was startled. He had talked about this matter with Wu Jingyi last night. In the morning, he secretly sent a telegram to Dai Li asking about it: "What's wrong?"

"Our Second Military Unification Division is about to establish a separate Military Unification Bureau, with Director He Yaozu, Deputy Director Dai Li and Director Dai, and Director Dai will be responsible for the main affairs. This time Director Dai has sent a lot of inspectors to various places to ensure a stable

Excessive, Shanghai is the top priority, so Director Dai sent a key member, Mr. Gong."

Qiu Xingchang explained carefully: "The inspector's requirement is that he must have nothing to do with local organizational leaders and local interests, so that he can be fair and equitable. Mr. Gong, the inspector sent to Shanghai this time, has been in Peiping in the past.

Activities in Tianjin and other places. In February of the 26th year of the Republic of China, on the eve of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he was transferred to Hong Kong. This time he was transferred from Hong Kong on a special trip."

Dai Li also took great pains.

Qiu Xingchang paused briefly and continued his report: "After giving him the order, we received another top-secret intelligence. The Japanese secret service had learned about Mr. Gong's departure and was preparing to assassinate him in Shanghai to create chaos.

"

Meng Shaoyuan frowned.

This is completely consistent with the information I just received.

"In order to ensure the successful completion of the assassination mission, the Japanese spy agency sent their ace agent, Tahara Kota, to personally take charge of the assassination." Qiu Xingchang told everything he knew: "Tahara Kota has also been in Hong Kong, Macau and other places.

He carried out activities and killed many of our people, so he became known as 'Japan's strongest killer'."

Japan's strongest killer?

The most powerful agent on the planet?

Meng Shaoyuan smiled.

"Mr. Gong and Tahara Kota fought against each other many times during their stay in Hong Kong, and they are considered old enemies." Qiu Xingchang took a sip of water and said: "Due to the previous incidents of Japanese special agencies in Shanghai, the Japanese suspected that there was a traitor around them, so Tahara Kota decided to act alone.

, to avoid information leakage, causing the operation to fail.”

"Detailed information on Kouta Tahara."

"This man is 44 years old, and his public identity is a Japanese businessman in Hong Kong. Our comrades in Hong Kong tried every means to get a photo of him."

Qiu Xingchang said as he took out a photo.

Meng Shaoyuan took it and took a look.

The photo is relatively clear. The man above looks a little fat, with thick hair, big eyes, and a big man with two dimples.

No matter how you look at him, he looks like an amiable middle-aged man, who has nothing to do with the strongest killer.

Chongqing's work has been done very meticulously, and they even obtained photos of their opponents.

"This is Mr. Gong's photo." Qiu Xingchang then took out the second photo: "Director Dai has specially ordered that even he only has this one photo of Mr. Gong. In order to ensure Mr. Gong's safety, he asked you to read it immediately

burn."

Meng Shaoyuan looked at it carefully. The photo was very old and blurry, but he could still distinguish it. He firmly remembered the face in the photo, then lit a lighter and watched the photo burn with his own eyes.

in front of yourself.

"Chief Meng, Director Dai came to me specifically this time and sent me here. Director Dai asked me to tell you that because the situation has changed, you will be personally responsible for Mr. Gong's safety in Shanghai to ensure that nothing happens to him.

"

The person Dai Li trusted the most was himself. He knew that Qiu Xingchang was his person in Chongqing, so he specially arranged for him to come. This was equivalent to giving everything that Mr. Gong had in Shanghai to him.

"How do I find Mr. Gong?"

"Director Dai has made proper arrangements. After Mr. Gong arrives in Shanghai, if special circumstances occur, he will appear in different places on different days. Tomorrow is the 28th, at 12 noon sharp, No. 307, Laojiancai Lane, you

You will meet Mr. Gong there. I also brought the secret code for the connection. And Director Dai asked you to ask Mr. Gong as soon as you see him, when is the first day of June?"

"How should he answer?"

"His answer is that my birthday on the file is the sixth day of August, but my real birthday is the first day of June. So, that is my birthday. Mr. Dai said that this photo was taken many years ago

"," is not particularly accurate. But only Director Dai and Mr. Gong know about this issue, so no one can fake it.

"Mr. Dai is really meticulous in his work." Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "I understand, you have a hard journey, so take a rest first. I will tell you the details in the evening."

"Yes, Section Chief Meng." Qiu Xingchang hesitated: "When I return to Shanghai this time, I, I brought someone with me."

"Who?" Meng Shaoyuan's face instantly darkened.

"Chief Meng, I know this is against discipline, but she insists on coming with me."

"Oh, even you can't refuse?"

"It's not that I can't refuse, it's that I really can't refuse."

"Then let her come out and meet her."

"Yes, Section Chief Meng, I will let her in now."

A few minutes later, the office door was pushed open again, and then a nice voice came out:
Chapter completed!
