"Wanted order? This is the greatest insult to our Japanese Empire. Mr. Dai, how do you explain it?"
Seeing this wanted notice, the grumpy Ozawa Seigoro suddenly became furious and waved the thin wanted notice in his hand to question Dai Li.
Dai Li was also a little confused. After carefully reading the wanted notice, he understood that it was issued by Lu Ming in the name of Fuxing Society. Lu Ming certainly had this right.
Even if it was for personal gain, Lu Ming's actions did not violate the regulations of the Fuxing Society. If a citizen was kidnapped and the suspect was discovered, of course he could issue a wanted order and there would still be a reward.
"This... I really don't know, it must have been signed by Lu Ming." Dai Li responded awkwardly.
"I don't care what happens between you. This is an insult to the citizens of the Empire of Japan. Mr. Dai, please go back and cancel the wanted order immediately." Ozawa Seigoro said.
"This is impossible. I don't have the power. Please calm down, Mr. Ozawa." Dai Li was no longer happy and pushed back forcefully.
"Mr. Dai, why don't you have this power? Aren't you the head of the Fuxing Society?" Yu Ying'er was also annoyed.
"First of all, Lu Ming's issuance of this wanted order is in compliance with the procedures. It was you who exposed yourselves and gave him a reasonable excuse. Secondly, when it comes to position and military rank, he is above me, and I cannot change his orders."
Dai Li explained reluctantly.
He really couldn't stop this matter. Even if Lu Ming signed a wanted warrant in front of him, he could only stare.
However, Dai Li did not expect Lu Ming to be so bold. He just arrested two people in the morning, and in the afternoon issued a wanted order for Ying'er and Kojima Noo.
"Then should we tell the truth about the Lu Ming incident and let your name appear on the wanted notice?" Ozawa Seigoro said angrily.
Dai Li also became popular. He was cooperating with the Japanese, but only to the extent that the two sides jointly fought against communism and defended communism. In other aspects, they were still rivals or even enemies.
"Ozawa, you can tell Lu Ming now that I, Dai, am involved in this matter, and our cooperation ends here. I can tell you clearly that within ten days, we will seize a
If you criticize Japan's secret agencies, everyone including you will be forcibly deported by us." Dai Li slapped the table and said.
"That's enough, Ozawa-kun." Military attache Takeo Takata also said angrily.
Yoshiko Kawashima, who was sitting on the side, also waved to Yu Ying'er to suppress her anger and sit down to talk.
"Your Excellency Military Attaché, the Chinese dare to arrest our senior cadres of the Manchurian Railway. How intolerable is this?" Seigoro Ozawa said angrily.
"Mr. Dai is right. You did things with unclean hands and left a tail behind. Lu Ming caught you. Of course he will make a big fuss. Now is not the time to discuss this wanted order. How to settle the matter?
It’s a top priority,” Takata said.
"Long Tianjun is aware of Lu Ming's attitude. He is now demanding that Ning Xiner be let go, and other matters can be written off." Dai Li already had the idea of retreating.
"Mr. Dai, you should know where Lu Ming hid our people, right?" Kawashima Yoshiko asked.
Dai Li spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me, I really don't know. Lu Ming didn't notify me in advance when he arrested people. Do you think he can tell me where he is hiding people?"
Dai Li had already met and talked with Japan at the secret contact point for an hour, and Japan seemed unwilling to bring up the topic of releasing Ning Xiner.
Dai Li asked about the basic situation of the two people kidnapped by Lu Ming, but the two people from the Black Dragon Society had no idea at all.
Only a few people in the room knew that Dai Li commissioned Manchuria to kidnap Ning Xiner.
After learning about this situation, Dai Li felt a little calmer. So far, Lu Ming could only doubt him, and there was no conclusive evidence to prove that he was involved in this matter.
Dai Li was indeed afraid that Lu Ming would know about this, but Ozawa Seigoro threatened him with informing him, so he had picked the wrong person.
Dai Li has been out in the world for more than a day or two, and he also has the ruthlessness of a gangster. At worst, the two sides will break up and fight each other as soon as they turn around.
At that point, Dai Li would bite back and muddy the waters. He could claim that it was a slander, and Lu Ming would not easily believe the Japanese.
In fact, the Japanese side could not provide any evidence that Dai Li planned to kidnap Ning Xiner. They only had oral discussions, which were not on paper. The meeting place was also carefully searched by someone appointed by Dai Li, so it could not have been recorded.
Dai Li is even more certain that the Japanese also have something in his hands. In Nanjing and Shanghai, there are at least dozens of secret organizations operating in Japan. He basically knows the situation. If he is offended, he can simply organize these spies.
Sexual cleansing.
These secret organizations are not as high-profile as the Manchurian Railway, but operate in a low-key manner in China in the name of business groups, mainly secretly collecting various intelligence in places such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Peiping and Tianjin.
Japan's secret service is also collecting information about the underground parties in Nanjing and Shanghai. When it comes to anti-communism, the Japanese are really no worse than the Kuomintang.
The Japanese government regards itself as the fortress and guardian of the East and will never allow red to spread in Asia. They claim to establish a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, which is undoubtedly led by Japan and other Asian countries as responders.
The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is nothing more than a political excuse, and Japan wants to use it to gain special rights in various Asian countries.
But at that time, the Japanese had no law enforcement rights in China, so they wanted to cooperate with Dai Li's Fuxing Society to establish an anti-communist alliance.
"Actually, you don't need to get angry about this. Both offense and defense are normal. Just be patient and don't be impatient. If you lose the initiative, just find a way to get it back." Dai Li deliberately relaxed his mood and softened his tone.
"But now Lu Ming is pressing harder and harder. Wanted posters are posted all over the streets. It's inconvenient for us to even go out. How can we regain the initiative?" Yu Ying'er said with a frown.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Ever since you ambushed Lu Ming on the highway last time, the two sides have become mortal enemies. As long as you leave the Japanese Concession, he will attack you. Therefore, this wanted order has no practical significance at all. It is just a
It’s just a gesture made by Lu Ming.”
Although what Dai Li said was true, Ozawa Seigoro and Yu Ying'er didn't think so.
The previous ambush on Lu Ming indeed caused a state of hostility between the two sides. Lu Ming arranged for someone to monitor them outside the concession, but after all, it was just a secret confrontation and not a life-or-death contest.
It's different now. Lu Ming directly put the conflict on the table and used public power to arrest them openly.
This is equivalent to turning the originally balanced hostile relationship between them into a cat-and-mouse relationship.
Lu Ming turned into a big cat with blooming whiskers crawling around the Japanese Concession, its claws sharpening.
There are two aspects to the character of the Japanese. On the one hand, on the surface, they value face the most, even more so than the Chinese. If they are insulted and their reputation is damaged, they will commit suicide by caesarean section.
On the other hand, they were very shameless. Not to mention the earlier Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese always fought undeclared wars and launched sneak attacks on their opponents. Take the September 18 incident as an example, they also suddenly launched a sneak attack on the Northeastern Army.
After I got it, I even talked about etiquette with you. Is the etiquette of holding a knife on your neck still considered etiquette?
Before the First World War, all countries adhered to the etiquette of war. Before the war started, they had to declare war before launching an attack. However, the Japanese ignored this and took their shameless spirit to the extreme.
"We also want to issue a wanted order for Lu Ming." Ozawa Seigoro said.
"Oh, I'm all ears. Why do you want to issue a wanted order?" Dai Li asked.
"He is the main criminal responsible for the robbery of our country's arsenal." Ozawa Seigoro said with a sinister smile.
"Mr. Ozawa, we have reached a settlement regarding the robbery of your country's arsenal. Please don't forget this. This is the same as the other. This is the principle of the Chinese people." Dai Li stood up and said.
In terms of national justice, Dai Li could still stick to his principles. Although he doubted Lu Ming, before Lu Ming was confirmed to be a communist, Lu Ming was still the elder of the Fuxing Society and the face of the Fuxing Society.
Besides, the committee member was secretly happy when the Japanese arsenal was robbed. Later, he was unhappy because the arms fell into the hands of the Communist Army.
"Ozawa-kun, please don't forget that the empire only has law enforcement power within the concession. Do you want to arrest Lu Ming in the concession?" the military attache reminded.
Yoshiko Kawashima said: "Everyone, don't go too far. Let's go back to the interrogation of Ning Xiner. Put the wanted order aside for now. No matter how capable Lu Ming is, he can't break into the Japanese concession to arrest people.
If he does this, he is throwing himself into a trap."
"Yes, if we can get some names of Communists from Ning Xiner, we can follow them, and maybe we can find the connection between Lu Ming and the Communist Party." The military attache knocked on the table and said.
Dai Li now regrets kidnapping Ning Xiner, because he feels that the possibility of getting information about the Communist Party from Ning Xiner is too small.
How could such a young lady, the yellow-haired girl in his eyes, have anything to do with the Communist Party?
There were actually two reasons why Dai Li commissioned the Japanese to kidnap Ning Xiner. Now it seems that both of them are difficult to achieve the expected goals.
