Therefore, the Japanese military believed that they must help the Republic of China government to completely suppress the Chinese Communist Party.
This does not mean that the Japanese military is suffering from delusions. In fact, if the United States had not occupied Japan after the war and forcibly disbanded the Japanese Communist Party, the probability of Japan evolving into a communist red country would have been very high.
From this point of view, the important officials of the Japanese military are really forward-looking to a certain extent.
The European, American, and Japanese powers still regret what happened in the Soviet Union. They regret that they did not intervene in time when the communist revolution occurred in the Soviet Union. Although Churchill of the United Kingdom gathered a group of forces to support Belarus in launching a civil war in the Soviet Union, in the end they still regretted what happened in the Soviet Union.
Failed.
By the time the great powers realized their failure, the Soviet regime had been stabilized, and they had no choice but to use Poland, Romania and other countries to form an isolation belt to block the Soviet Union in eastern Europe, just like treating an infectious virus.
The reason why Western countries such as Britain and the United States have an ambiguous attitude is that they know that Japan has strategic ambitions, but they still support Japan to a certain extent. They also regard Japan as a part of the blockade against the Soviet Union in Asia.
Dai Li knew that Kawashima Yoshiko was a royal princess of the Qing Dynasty. He had always heard that this woman had transvestism and might even be homosexual, but he did not dare to look down upon this woman.
Yoshiko Kawashima is already well-known in the Chinese and Japanese intelligence circles. The forces behind her are senior leaders in the Japanese military, and the Japanese government also intends to reuse her.
As for Seigoro Ozawa and Yu Ying'er, Dai Li didn't take them seriously at all. Just based on the fact that they secretly launched a kidnapping campaign against Lu Ming, he knew that these two people would not be able to make a big impact.
The most important thing for an agent is the psychological quality. If the psychological quality is defective, he is destined not to become an excellent agent.
"How is Ning Xiner's condition? Can she be interrogated?" Dai Li asked.
"I don't have time these two days. You can't interrogate her in private. You can only interrogate her in the presence of me or my representative." Dai Li said forcefully.
"Yes, our purpose is the same, which is to find out the truth about the arms case and to uncover the Communist Party hidden within us." The military attache of the consulate nodded.
Others had no objection. They knew that Dai Li was busy with intensive interrogations after a large-scale raid. He was rushing around all day and really had no time.
The cooperation between them can only be carried out in secret. Every meeting requires detailed arrangements in advance and specific steps. There is no need to rush or be slow.
Dai Li left. After he went out, he got into his car and drove out of the gate.
After about half an hour, other people came out one after another and left in separate cars.
The night before the storm came, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
"Master Lu, we finally caught his tail." An Gonggen came to Lu Ming's apartment excitedly, holding a camera and said.
"What did you photograph?" Lu Ming asked.
"We took photos of Dai Yunong's secret contact with the Japanese," An Gonggen said.
Lu Ming and An Gonggen walked into the darkroom, developed the film, and saw a photo of Dai Li walking out of a gate, and another photo of the Japanese Consulate Military Attache, Kawashima Yoshiko, Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er.
Come out of this gate too.
There are many others, all of which were taken continuously by these people from when they went out to when they got in the car. The photos are very clear and there is absolutely no mistaking the person.
"Dai Yunong, you have really colluded with the Japanese. I will remember this debt for you. You will have to pay it back one day." Lu Ming said through gritted teeth.
"They talked secretly inside for more than an hour, but unfortunately we couldn't take any photos of their meeting," An Gonggen said with some regret.
"That's good. The place where they met must be surrounded by agents, and you can't get close at all." Lu Ming said.
Although these photos alone cannot completely prove that Dai Li and the Japanese colluded with each other, they can already explain some problems.
At least it provides a basis for solving some practical problems, such as finding a fulcrum for Ning Xiner's disappearance. With this fulcrum, approaching step by step, the entire incident can be leveraged.
Lu Ming knew that these negatives could not convict Dai Li of being a traitor. Dai Li could have argued that it was because of the arms case that he was negotiating with the Japanese side, but it was human nature to have a guilty conscience.
Do official contacts and negotiations with Japan need to be conducted in such a secretive manner because of the arms case? Is there any exchange condition involved?
"Have you found out Yoshiko Kawashima's whereabouts?" Lu Ming asked.
"No, our people always follow and then get lost. Our tracking skills seem to be a bit poor, and we can't defeat this cunning woman." An Gonggen said a little embarrassed.
"Take your time, you can always find out. As long as she doesn't leave Shanghai for a short time, I don't believe she has wings and can fly." Lu Ming seemed very confident.
"She can disguise herself, and sometimes she may have changed her appearance, and the person we were following was deceived by her." An Gonggen analyzed several situations where he was lost, and came to this result.
"Ignore her for now. The people in the photo must continue to follow, and don't force it. The most important thing is not to expose yourself. Follow if you can. If there is a danger of being discovered, stop immediately." Lu Ming added.
One sentence.
"I understand." An Gonggen put away the photo.
Lu Ming gave An Gonggen a thousand yuan in banknotes as allowances and summer expenses for the operatives.
An Gonggen was not polite, took the money and left.
The heavy rain stopped and the sweltering heat came again. Even after dinner, the temperature remained high.
The ceiling fan was roaring and the room was still cool. Lu Ming was drinking whiskey with ice cubes and thinking about something.
These days, there are too many people coming to see him and calling him. They are all family members, relatives, or friends who have been arrested by the police or military police, and they are begging him to help arrest them.
Lu Ming was not familiar with most of these people, and many of them were just casual acquaintances. They probably couldn't find a way out, so they had no choice but to try their luck with him.
Lu Ming also promised to help find a solution, but did not make any guarantees.
There are really too many people arrested this time. It would be good if there could be one Communist Party activist among the 100 people arrested. As for whether there is a real underground party, he doesn't know.
Lu Ming asked An Yi and Mr. Dong, and they also said that they had not received any news and did not know if any of their comrades had been arrested.
Lu Ming showed the arrest list to the two of them. The two looked at it for a long time and discussed it for a while, but they couldn't identify whether any of their comrades were included in it.
Lu Ming felt that he should have a good talk with Dai Li. After some interrogation, he could release a group of unimportant personnel.
The brothers in the Fuxing Society had a lot of bitter feelings with him in private. Who could bear such a continuous interrogation without even having time to go home?
However, doing this will offend many people, especially the people in the police station and the security headquarters. They rely on this to make money. If he releases too many people here, it will undoubtedly cut off their financial resources.
Lu Ming knew that the obstacles to achieving his goal were not small.
Although this time it was a joint operation led by the Fuxing Society and assisted by the police station and the garrison headquarters, in fact the main arrest operations were carried out by the police and military police, and the number of people from the Fuxing Society was relatively small.
But when it comes to interrogations, all members of the Fuxing Society must be mobilized. Dai Li's requirements are very strict. People from the Fuxing Society must be present at every trial, and the Fuxing Society must keep a copy of the interrogation records.
In the past two days, Sheng Muyi and Du Juan also came to him and asked him to help release some people.
Lu Ming saw the list written by the two of them. They were basically activists from the labor movement, student movement and some grassroots leaders of the trade union. These people were all suspected, and it was not easy to release them.
Lu Ming promised Sheng Muyi and Du Juan that he would find a way to fish out these people without letting them be formally arrested or sentenced.
He called Zhao Yuanliang and urged him to quickly make a list of all the people he wanted.
Zhao Yuanliang has been leading his men day and night for the past two days, following Lu Ming's request, carefully classifying the circumstances of the arrested persons based on previous reports.
