Chapter 996 Goodbye Lone Peak (seeking a monthly ticket)
Two days later, at 9 a.m. on Friday, in the office of Nanwu Library, Ning Zhiheng and He Siming were sitting opposite each other.
This was the first time Ning Zhiheng had contacted He Siming after returning to Shanghai. He Zhiming followed Sagawa Taro to North China with Wang Baihai and had been in charge of Wang Baihai's contact with North China.
Originally, Wang Baihai went to North China and his entourage, and should have been accompanied by secret agents from the Yingzuo agency, but the Yingzuo agency was affiliated with the Central China Expeditionary Army and had a rift with the intelligence agency of the North China Front Army's special high school. This made them very boycotted in North China and it was very inconvenient to do things.
Because North China is the headquarters of Japan's Special High School in China, the head of the General Section Keiji Tuhara has been stationed in North China, so the intelligence work in North China is basically completed by the Special High School.
So Kagesa Yuki specially found Taro Sagawa, the head of the Shanghai Special High School, and asked him to come forward to accompany Wang Baihai to North China and coordinate and contact. Taro Sagawa happily agreed, so Taro Sagawa led some personnel to join Wang Baihai's visiting team. He Siming, as Taro Sagawa's liaison officer, of course, accompanied him together.
The trip to North China is coming to an end. There should have been a few more days of itinerary, but Wang Baihai rushed back to Shanghai due to the turmoil. Many of the entourages did not have time to follow, so they delayed for two days. When He Siming returned to Shanghai, he realized that Ning Zhiheng had returned to Shanghai, so he hurried to report.
He Siming asked strangely: "Didn't you say that this trip to Chongqing took a long time, why did you come back so soon?"
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast. I just thank you for your blessing. My work went very smoothly this time. I completed the task ahead of time. Then Wang Hanmin surrendered to the enemy. The situation was critical, so I rushed back."
He Siming was stunned: "Thank you for my blessing?"
Ning Zhiheng laughed and didn't keep it a secret. He probably introduced this trip to Chongqing to He Siming.
When He Siming knew that the Japanese spies he provided to Ning Zhiheng had provided great help to Ning Zhiheng's work and had his own contribution, he was also very happy and said with a smile: "You are still patient. After so long, you have to start the work, and the ending is finally a perfect one."
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and asked softly: "What's going on in Shanghai this time? The impact is too great. The headquarters of North China Special High School Course specifically asked Taro Sagawa to inquire about the real reason. Is this your masterpiece?"
Ning Zhiheng was surprised when he heard this. What is the connection between the turmoil in Shanghai and the headquarters of the Special High School Course far away in North China?
He nodded and said, "It was indeed what I arranged. I initially planned to teach them a lesson and muddle the water, but I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good."
Next, the cause and effect of Ning Zhiheng's affairs were told to He Siming in the specific situation, and then asked: "What does these things have to do with the headquarters of North China Special High School? Tsuhara Keiji's curiosity is too heavy!"
He Siming nodded and said, "So, the report from Yingzuo Agency did not lie."
Then he looked up and reported: "This is the thing. When we were accompanying Wang Baihai in North China, we received a notice from the base camp, ordering the pseudo-government, the Nanjing Restoration Government and the North China Provisional Government to merge as soon as possible and hold a tripartite talks.
Wang Baihai communicated with North China and wanted to hold this tripartite talks in Shanghai or Nanjing, but the North China Front Army firmly disagrees. They believe that the location of the meeting should be chosen in North China. Both sides argued over this and wanted to take the initiative.
Later, Wang Baihai left urgently, and the matter was temporarily put on hold. However, the talks were about to begin soon, and the choice of the meeting location must be decided as soon as possible. North China once again proposed to set the location in the sphere of influence of the North China Front Army on the grounds that the public security in Shanghai collapsed and the ability of the pseudo-government could not guarantee the safety of the participants in the meeting.
The Shanghai Special High School Course ordered to find out the reason, probably to find out an empirical evidence and do some work to win this meeting location!”
So that's it! Ning Zhiheng had a very thorough understanding of the current situation and quickly figured out the relationship.
At present, the traitor governments of the three parties have their own ulterior motives and have their own plans. Wang Baihai and Liang Anhong are better. After all, they are puppets built by the Central China Expeditionary Army. The merger between the two sides is a foregone conclusion, and Liang Anhong is willing to bow his head to obey Wang Baihai's leaders.
However, Wang Shulu, the head of the North China Provisional Government, did not intend to condescend Wang to reclamate the sea. With the support of the North China Front Army, he has always been tough. This time he was forced to obey the orders of the Japanese base camp and force the two sides to merge.
However, this involves all interests. Everyone wants to take the initiative and gain a larger share in the talks. In this way, whoever is the host will invisibly represent that this side will dominate.
Therefore, the North China Front Army must find various excuses and strong evidence, and try its best to win the right to host the talks.
This turmoil was a good excuse, so the North China Front Army ordered Keiji Tohara, the head of the Special High School Course, to find out the real situation. In the end, this task was naturally handed over to Taro Sagawa.
Ning Zhiheng suddenly became interested and asked in a deep voice: "Is North China's attitude very firm?"
He Siming nodded and said, "That's true. During this talk, they were determined to win and refused to compromise at all. I guess Wang Baihai would make concessions in the end."
“Do you know where the specific meeting location they chose?”
"I heard from Taro Sagawa that the initial choice of North China was in Peiping, but it was overturned later. He mentioned Qingdao. I think the possibility of Qingdao is relatively high, because Taro Sagawa and I flew to Qingdao in the last two days to meet Keiji Tuhara!"
"Tihara Keiji is in Qingdao?"
"Yes, but I don't know what's going on. After an hour of talking to Taro Sagawa, Taro Sagawa withdrew, and then mentioned the possibility of a meeting in Qingdao while talking to me. Then we took a special plane back to Shanghai."
It is true! The North China Front Army did not choose a metropolis like Peking and Tianjin, but chose a coastal city like Qingdao. In fact, this is understandable.
Qingdao during this period was the best metropolis built in the north at present. The city has a very good appearance, dense population and prosperous business, and is well known to everyone.
More importantly, Qingdao's garrison has a strong force, a certain number of army and navy, and a large number of Japanese immigrants have always lived in it. After the full war, Japan immigrated in Qingdao and tried its best to expand its economic power, so this is also a key city occupied by the Japanese.
Of course, there is another favorable condition, that is, Qingdao's transportation is convenient, with airports and ports, and the location is just in the middle. Whether it is to go to Peking, Nanjing, or Shanghai, it is very convenient. It seems that the North China Front Army has put its heart into consideration.
Ning Zhiheng nodded and thought for a moment. However, Qingdao's urban construction is relatively developed, and there are many high-end buildings that are qualified to hold tripartite meetings. It seems that it needs to be confirmed before it can be reported to the headquarters.
He said to He Siming: "The tripartite talks are of great importance. Once the merger is successful, the pseudo-government will have considerable status and influence. The bureau headquarters attaches great importance to this matter. We will call us to find out the time and specific location of the tripartite meeting as soon as possible. They should prevent the meeting from proceeding. You should pay more attention to this information in the near future and report it to me as soon as possible."
"Yes!" He Siming nodded and took the order.
His current identity is different and he can access different intelligence. His ability to collect intelligence is far beyond his previous experience. It is almost no difficulty in doing these things.
Because the two of them could not meet for too long, they said a few simple words and left each other.
At the same time, in the office building of the No. 76 Agent Headquarters, a knock on the door sounded in an office.
"Come in!" Zhang Jingyao, director of the Third Department, did not look up and shouted casually.
Luo Xingchao smiled and pushed the door in. He held a teacup in his hand, his steps casually and contemptuously, as if he was coming to visit the door casually.
Haha, he said with a smile on his face: "Lao Zhang, what are you busy with? I'm bored here, come and chat with you for a while, don't bother me? Haha!"
When Zhang Jingyao saw that it was Luo Xingchao, his heart suddenly stumbled, his face changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal. He quickly got up and greeted him, asking Luo Xingchao to sit down on the sofa, and responded with a smile: "Director Luo is here, and the brilliance is bright. You can't even invite him normally, so why bother me? Come, please sit down!"
Luo Xingchao bowed slightly, put the teacup on the guest table, and repeatedly said, "Old Zhang, it's too apart, too apart. You are much older than me. In the future, I will call me brother, or Xingchao, haha!"
Luo Xingchao showed closeness and casualness as soon as he entered the door, quickly narrowing the distance between him and Zhang Jingyao. This attitude made Zhang Jingyao even more uneasy.
Of course, he knew Luo Xingchao's identity, and he knew that he had been pursuing the case that poisoned Wang Hanmin. In the past few days, many people from No. 76 had been called to have a face-to-face conversation one by one. Even if there were senior officials like Wu Shicai, there was no exception, and no one dared to refuse his investigation.
I had almost no contact with him before, let alone a friendship. I suddenly visited him today and took such a gesture again. Needless to say, today I was just a conversation about myself.
Chapter completed!
