"Mr. Lu, I've told you that I'm too tired from work and came to Shanghai for a vacation. Why don't you believe it? It's not a good habit to always be suspicious." Yoshiko Kawashima began to relax her body and softened her body.
dancing on the ground.
Lu Ming sneered, no matter what Kawashima Yoshiko said, he would not believe it. It was not that he could not believe a word of her words, but he could not believe a word of her words, no matter whether she spoke Chinese or Japanese.
"Kawashima-kun, don't blame me for not wanting to see you. You are like a vulture. Wherever you appear, it means death." Lu Ming said.
It was indeed the first time for Lu Ming to talk to Kawashima Yoshiko face-to-face. In fact, he had no personal grudges with Kawashima Yoshiko. However, since the intelligence war during the January 28 Incident, Lu Ming learned about Kawashima Yoshiko's skills, and he was determined to eliminate Kawashima Yoshiko.
Drop her.
This person did great harm to China. She was the one who helped the Japanese move the late Emperor Puyi and Queen Wanrong to the Northeast and planned to establish the puppet government of Manchukuo.
It was she who planned the Japanese monk incident in Shanghai, deliberately created conflicts between China and Japan, and triggered the Songhu War of Resistance on 128th.
She was the mastermind behind Ning Xiner's kidnapping.
Now, she frequently appears in the provinces of North China, engaged in peace offensives, and advocates the autonomy of the five provinces of North China. She spares no effort.
This woman is really too dangerous. I don’t know what shocking things she will do in the future. It would be best if she could be eliminated as soon as possible.
Lu Ming still had a doubt in his mind: why did Kawashima suddenly appear when the young marshal was having a meeting with Andre, and he was still at Paramount? This had to make him suspicious.
Has any news leaked out? Or did the Japanese spy on something? Is the Japanese intelligence system really so powerful?
Lu Ming was reasoning in his mind, unable to come to a conclusion for the moment.
After the dance, Lu Ming had no choice but to let go of Yoshiko Kawashima's hand. He couldn't hold on to Yoshiko Kawashima all the time, as that would be a bit inappropriate.
Lu Ming returned to his seat, and when he turned his head, Kawashima Yoshiko's figure had disappeared. He quickly stood up and searched the surrounding crowd with his eyes.
Wherever there was the shadow of that thin "man", Yoshiko Kawashima disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if she had never appeared in the Paramount Ballroom.
"Brother, which woman do you like again? Did you lose it?" The young marshal came over and teased him.
"No, there are Japanese agents here." Lu Ming said nervously.
"Japanese agent? What's so strange about that?" the young marshal said, not taking it seriously at all.
As soon as the young marshal spoke his words, the guards behind him became nervous, looking around the crowd to see if there was anyone acting suspiciously.
"Everyone, please relax. I have seen a lot of Japanese people. Don't worry, they won't attack me." The young marshal said with a relaxed look.
Andrei didn't care either. The Japanese would only attack him if they were crazy, which would trigger a diplomatic war between the Soviet Union and Japan.
In his daily work, Andre met many Japanese agents. They were all in the same group. Even if they had no contact with each other, they knew each other well and could make a general guess at a glance.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. The two important figures looked relaxed and relaxed, not nervous at all. On the contrary, he seemed a little nervous and nervous.
Lu Ming then had a sudden thought: Could Yoshiko Kawashima really just come to dance, and come alone? If so, he would have missed the best opportunity to get rid of this cancer.
There's no point thinking about it now, the best opportunity has slipped away.
"Who was dancing with you just now? It doesn't look like the dancer here, she seems to be wearing men's clothes." The young marshal's eyes were also very poisonous, and with just a glance, he could see that it was a woman disguised as a man.
"She is the Japanese agent Yoshiko Kawashima." Lu Ming said.
"Kawashima Yoshiko? I don't know this person." The young marshal thought for a moment, then shrugged.
The Japanese agents that the young marshal knew were basically big bosses at the level of Doihara. Yoshiko Kawashima was a dangerous person in Lu Ming's eyes, but she had not yet caught the marshal's eye.
"After the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, she jumped up and down and did a lot of bad things." Lu Ming gave a general introduction to Kawashima Yoshiko's situation before he had time to elaborate.
"Oh, this person you are talking about, I seem to have heard someone say, leave her alone, the Japanese don't dare to have bad thoughts towards me now."
The young marshal waved slightly as he spoke, and the guards in the crowd immediately withdrew, and a group of people prepared to return home.
After leaving Paramount, Lu Ming immediately returned to the office building, called An Gonggen and asked him to search for traces of Yoshiko Kawashima in Shanghai starting tomorrow.
He also wanted to call Zhao Yuanliang, but it was too late and he could only call tomorrow.
Although Yoshiko Kawashima's purpose of this trip is unlikely to be against the young marshal, Lu Ming always feels uneasy without finding out the purpose of her coming to Shanghai.
The next morning, Lu Ming called Zhao Yuanliang again and asked him to collect information about Yoshiko Kawashima's visit to Shanghai.
"This disaster star has come to Shanghai again? Isn't she active in Tianjin?" Zhao Yuanliang said in surprise.
"I happened to see her at Paramount yesterday. I don't know what she was doing in Shanghai. If I hadn't seen her with my own eyes, I would have thought she was in Tianjin." Lu Ming said.
"Strange, why did she go to Paramount? The information we collected didn't say that she likes dancing." Zhao Yuanliang wondered.
"I'm also wondering, is she trying to do something in Paramount again? This woman won't stop."
Although several years have passed, Lu Ming's allergic period to Paramount has not passed yet, and the shadow of Ning Xiner's accident at Paramount has always been buried deep in his heart.
It can be said that Lu Ming has not fully recovered from the psychological fear caused by this incident. Mingzhu's regretful marriage also dealt a big blow to him, but outsiders can't see it.
In the morning, Lu Ming called Zhang Mansion again and was relieved to know that the young marshal had left Shanghai safely.
In the next two days, neither An Gonggen nor Zhao Yuanliang found any trace of Yoshiko Kawashima. Lu Ming felt a little relieved. What he was most afraid of was that Yoshiko Kawashima was openly active in Shanghai, which meant that something unpredictable would happen.
It's a big deal.
However, Lu Ming felt that the matter would not be that simple. Yoshiko Kawashima must have hidden evil intentions when she came to Shanghai. In order to clarify the matter, he went to see Eikichi Kenta again.
"Kawashima Yoshiko? You are not mistaken, I have never heard anyone say that she came to Shanghai." Qian Tian said after seeing Lu Ming.
"Of course I'm not mistaken, I even danced with her at Paramount," Lu Ming said.
"You met her at Paramount?" Qian Tian also felt strange.
"Yeah, when I saw her, she was dancing. I forced her to go up and dance a song. She told me that she came to Shanghai for vacation, which must be nonsense."
Lu Ming regretted a little. He should have kept a close eye on her at that time. Alas, how could he let her run away?
"This is even more strange. She likes riding horses, shooting, and fighting in close quarters like men. But I have never heard that she likes dancing." Qian Tian thought for a while and said.
"That's right, there's no mention of her liking to dance in the information we collected, so I think there's something wrong with her appearing at Paramount. She's definitely not here for casual dancing. It's not that simple."
This time the two met not in that Japanese restaurant, but in a French restaurant in the public concession. In addition to steak, in order to challenge himself, Qiantian specially ordered a French national dish: snails.
Lu Ming really didn't have the courage to eat this kind of thing, so he ordered a fresh oyster dish with wine.
Eating in a French restaurant is troublesome. Basically, each dish must be paired with a kind of wine. Even cheese and bread have special wine pairings.
For this meal, the two of them ordered six kinds of wine. This was considered a simple meal, not a big meal.
"The situation in North China is getting increasingly tense. Does the military have a timetable for attacking North China with force?" Lu Ming asked.
"No, the current plan of the military department is still a peaceful offensive plus the threat of force. Before the threat from the Soviet Union is eliminated, the military department should not launch a large-scale attack on China. The main thing is to implement the strategy of using China to control China." Qiantian said.
.
"How can they ensure the survival of these puppet regimes without the intervention of large-scale military forces? I feel that the military must have a secret plan to use force." Lu Ming felt strange.
"The goal of the military department is very clear. The strategy towards China is to be implemented step by step. Currently, it is still focused on operating the base in Northeast China and establishing an autonomous regime in North China. On the one hand, it is to establish a barrier to protect Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, and on the other hand, it is to disintegrate Nanjing.
The government's strength is preparing for a full-scale invasion of China in the future." Kenda analyzed.
"The Northeast has been completely controlled by them, what else do they have to worry about?" Lu Ming asked in confusion.
"This is your mentality. The Kwantung Army doesn't think so. They forcibly occupied the Northeast, just like a thief entering a person's home and occupying this person's home. They have a guilty conscience and are worried that the owner will take the house away at any time.
Go back, so be sure to build an unreachable wall between the homeowner and yourself.”
After saying this, Qiantian couldn't help but burst into laughter. This metaphor even made him laugh.
"What will happen if the five provinces in North China really implement autonomy?" Lu Ming is most concerned about this issue now.
"The autonomy of the five provinces in North China, the legitimacy and survival space of the regime, probably need to be determined through negotiations between the Chinese and Japanese governments. The military ministry means that the two countries will reach an agreement that Japanese troops will not enter the jurisdictions of these autonomous regimes.
Chinese troops are also not allowed to enter, which is considered to be a demilitarized buffer zone," Qiantian explained.
"Haha, isn't this a joke? It is absolutely impossible for the Chinese government to recognize the legitimacy of these puppet regimes. Anyone who dares to recognize it will be scolded as a stinking piece of shit and a traitor by 40 million people. The Nanjing government will not even recognize Manchukuo.
How is it possible to recognize the disguised independence of the five provinces of North China? And negotiate an agreement with the Japanese? Your military has really big ideas." Lu Ming sneered.
"Of course the military has also taken this into consideration, so it will definitely increase the threat of force and create more friction in these autonomous areas until the Chinese government is tired of it and cannot withstand such great pressure, so it has to give up the struggle and be forced to
To reach an agreement, of course this is just the idea of the military ministry," said Kenda.
