Time flies so fast, another year has passed in the blink of an eye, the situation in Shanghai has become increasingly tense, and the war has continued.
Life in the isolated island of Shanghai has become increasingly difficult. Even Zhang Tianhao has not taken action for more than a year. Apart from collecting some simple information, he has stayed quietly in Shanghai.
Among them, he will also go to Hong Kong for inspections, basically focusing on clubs.
However, in order to facilitate smuggling, or to help more than a dozen squadrons, or even transport some supplies to people over there, his fleet has been traveling between Shanghai, Hong Kong, Nanjing, Tianjin, and Chongqing.
The entire operation was carried out silently, helping the guerrillas or the New Fourth Army to transport the goods. It also started from the dock at the beginning and was slowly transferred from other places.
It's just that he seems to be more low-key. He often doesn't go out, or only occasionally goes to the club for half a month or even ten days.
This left Yingzuo, Kodama and the others a little confused, and even the Secret Service had to give up monitoring Zhang Tianhao.
The name Mihara Kojiro is about to fade out of everyone's sight.
This is also the result he wants. Even if he doesn't do any major activities now, it won't cause unnecessary trouble.
"Master, this is the news I just heard from the Japanese Navy Club. I don't know if it is useful?"
"Oh, what's the news?"
Zhang Tianhao sat at the edge of the table, took off the pair of flat glasses, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
After a year of training, when he puts on his eyes now, he feels as calm as a scholar, which makes people feel friendly.
It's elegant, bookish, and even has an indescribable intellectual beauty.
It's just that in the past year, his appearance has not changed at all. The only thing that has changed is that his temperament is completely different from before.
"It's like this. Many places in the Japanese war zone were attacked by the army there. The number was quite large, which caused the Japanese army to suffer a lot."
Ah Feng explained the situation in a low voice, and then briefly explained what he heard.
"Battle of One Hundred Regiments!"
As soon as he heard this, the name came to Zhang Tianhao's mind, but he just thought about it for a moment and sighed.
It boosted morale, but exposed strength.
"Let Ah Xin come in and I'll ask some questions!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. His fifteen squadrons can be said to be the most powerful in the entire Jiangsu. After more than a year of development, some of them have grown to less than 2,000 people.
There were only six or seven people. If he hadn't been here to help occasionally, just so many people would have dragged them to death.
Fifteen squadrons, more than 20,000 troops, he almost wanted to curse.
However, most of the power was given to the captain over there. He did not participate too much and just watched their development calmly.
Soon, Axin also walked in.
"Master, what's going on?"
"Have our squadrons participated in this large-scale attack in the Jiangsu area?"
"Some of them participated, even the 5th, 7th, 11th to 15th squadrons participated, a kind of seven squadrons participated in the raid. Master, this seems to be your criticism!"
"I'm just asking. Now tell them that they can pretend to evacuate, then break into pieces and disappear in the local area. The Japanese's revenge will come soon."
He thought for a moment and then sighed.
Unexpectedly, this time the raid below would collide with the Hundred Regiment War. Although it was a good thing, it was also a bad thing.
However, this seems to be a precursor to the Hundred Regiment War.
Soon, he put aside these random thoughts and started to read a book.
"By the way, Master, I got a call from Shuichi Yoshito. The Kodama Agency wants to invite our Mihara Club to attend a meeting. What do you think we should do?"
"Tell them not to go. The Kodama Agency will let them play by themselves. We don't have that much ability, nor that much energy."
Zhang Tianhao said lightly, after all, it had been more than a year since he came back, and Kodama invited him to participate, but he never participated, and even refused directly.
"One more thing. Chongqing is planning to send your substitute to Xi'an to be taken care of by your wife. How do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Send it to Xi'an and have someone send it there. If Erniu is lucky, it is his blessing. If he is unlucky, I can only say that I am sorry for him."
Zhang Tianhao was overjoyed when he heard that Chongqing actually relented and let his substitute leave.
"Then you..."
"When will it be sent?"
"I don't know, but there is already a plan over there, but I don't know the specific time. I think they will be notified when there is news."
After hearing the news, Zhang Tianhao lowered his head directly and continued to read the contents of the book without preparing to leave Shanghai.
Even when he left Shanghai, it was not so easy to attract attention.
…
On the Yan'an side, Minister Li looked at the telegram he had just received from Chongqing, a top-secret telegram, and fell into deep thought.
He never thought that Zhong Changan, a famous chemical expert who had been looking for him for more than a year, would be sent to Chongqing to participate in the research of some important projects.
Moreover, Zhong Changan's family has been sent to Chongqing, so Zhong Changan did not dare to leave again.
"No wonder I haven't found him for more than a year. It turns out he was kidnapped by military commanders!"
By chance, I got such news from an ordinary party member.
"Come here, please inform He Bao and his party. In addition, all the members of the second intelligence team are here to gather for a meeting. No one is missing!"
He believed in Zhang Tianhao's ability. It was quite easy to find someone in Shanghai and even inquire about information. However, he had not received any information so far. The only result was that he was captured.
As for whether Zhang Tianhao would betray them, he didn't even think about it.
Moreover, the lack of news about such an important task has become a worry for him. Now that he got the news, he naturally thought of only one possibility.
That means there is an internal problem.
It was either their line or another line, but the possibility of something going wrong on the other line was almost zero. After all, it was Zhong Changan himself.
The remaining line is the other people who know the news about Zhong Changan.
Even the underground party in Shanghai didn't know, so how did the military commander know? This is a true proposition, not a false proposition.
Minister Li hates this kind of betrayal very much. Even every organization hates betrayal. After all, betrayal means the sacrifice of countless comrades.
There is nothing we can do about the investigation now. If the Second Intelligence Group does not investigate clearly, the entire Second Intelligence Group will not be brought up again.
"It's a pity that Xiao Zhang has never found any information. It's really difficult for him. After more than a year of investigation, there is no result."
Thinking of this, he took out a pen, wrote a few words on it, and then gave an order to the guard outside and asked Xiaoxiang to walk in directly.
"Xiaoxiang, this is a message from your young master. You can send it without waiting for a reply! Do you understand?"
