"It's hard to say yet. Regarding this issue, the military leaders are also hesitant. Some support expanding the war and occupying China in one fell swoop, while others oppose expanding the war and retain the territory of the three northeastern provinces and gradually penetrate into North China. We
Just listen to the news." Takashima Kazuki shook his head and said.
The Japanese military has many concerns about starting a full-scale war with the Jinling government. It originally had an absolute advantage. Once a war broke out, it would mean increasing the army, increasing financial expenditures, and lengthening the front. It also had to take into account the allocation of troops and ammunition.
The supply of materials is a problem.
More importantly, this is not simply a war between Japan and China. Britain and the United States hold a strong opposition to Japan's war and believe that Japan's actions have harmed the interests of Britain and the United States in China. Even the occupied three northeastern provinces are also facing
the threat from the Soviet Union.
Army bosses Gen Sugiyama and Hideki Tojo were representatives of those who supported the expansion of the war, while Kanji Ishihara was a representative of those who did not want to expand the war. The quarrel between the two sides made it impossible for the entire military to form a unified opinion.
"How long do you plan to stay in Hangzhou this time?" Heisaburo Shibahara asked.
"Please report the important things to me. After lunch, I will go out of the city to meet a senior near the Japanese Concession. I will return to Shanghai in the evening. Hangzhou is not yet an occupied area of the empire. I cannot be here.
Staying too long," Takashima Kazuki said.
He came to Hangzhou for work, not for sightseeing and pleasure. Aren't the public concessions and French concessions in Shanghai more prosperous? So, after finishing what he had to do, he took the time to return. He didn't want to be
Caught at two Hangzhou stations.
I don’t know what happened to these Jinling government agents, but they suddenly got their minds enlightened. This is not a good thing for the imperial intelligence agency.
Shibahara Heisaburo did not dare to ask Takashima Kazuki who he wanted to meet. He selected the important parts and reported on the problems he was currently encountering and his work during this period in Hangzhou. Afterwards, Takashima Kazuki went out to take a car.
Arrive at the Japanese Concession in Hangzhou.
The Hangzhou Japanese Concession is located at Gongchen Bridge on the bank of the Grand Canal. It is one of the five Japanese Concessions in China in modern times. The other ones are the Jincheng Japanese Concession, the Hankou Japanese Concession, the Shancheng Japanese Concession and the Suzhou Japanese Concession. It is also the only one in Hangzhou.
of concession.
The irony is that the Japanese did work hard in the area and built infrastructure such as Main Road and Rima Road (also called Second Road). However, in order to attract tourists, the Japanese established the so-called "Four Pavilions", that is, cigarettes.
Pavilions, theaters, brothels and gambling houses, among which brothels are the most famous.
The sex industry in Gongchenqiao is developed and divided into three levels. The first-class brothels are all located in the famous "Fuhaili". The two-story blue brick buildings are all high-end geishas with elegant appearance, fair skin and good understanding.
There are more than 200 households engaged in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they need to pay a "tax" of four oceans a month. Therefore, all the people who come here are dignitaries and wealthy households.
The second-class brothels are scattered on the buildings along the Erma Road built by the Japanese to the east of Gongchen Bridge. The third-class brothels are the lowest grade and are all located at the west end of Gongchen Bridge, which is no longer within the scope of the Japanese Concession.
"This is a drugstore run by Japanese people. Since he came to the drugstore, it means that the people in this drugstore are also a stronghold of Japanese spies. This is an unexpected gain." Cao Jiandong said.
"Don't be afraid of being late if you have a good meal. He only stayed at Xu Zhitong's place for two hours and only spent an hour eating. He didn't choose to stay here when he came here. There is a high chance that he will have to return to Shanghai tonight."
"As for the train from Hangzhou to Shanghai, there are only two trains at 2:05 and 6:25 in the afternoon. Since there is no movement yet, prepare in advance and take your two brothers to follow him on the train.
Find his hometown and come back." Han Lin said.
"Boss, we are not familiar with the situation in the Shanghai market. Your family also has a residence in the French Concession. You should be very familiar with the environment of the concession. The target that needs to be tracked this time is particularly important. To be on the safe side, why don't you take care of it yourself this time?
Team?" Cao Jiandong asked.
Han Lin's family was a salt merchant. They were wealthy and had residences in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. In his mind, Han Lin should be very familiar with the prosperous public concession and the French Concession.
"Bullshit, you can't carry out missions in places you haven't been to? We are agents of the Second Division of the Bureau of Control and Statistics. We can fight in unfamiliar environments at any time. This is the minimum requirement. You can't count on me for everything without going there yourself.
Field experience, what should I do if there is another mission like this?"
"As long as you are willing to spend money in Shanghai, everything is possible, so bring more money with you this time. Don't worry about the expense. As long as you find the enemy's lair, you will make a lot of money. This person has a high status and must have a car.
Come and pick her up. At 2:05, we will send two brothers to Shanghai by car. We will rent a car and wait outside the train station."
"You should pay attention. The 6:25 train arrived in Shanghai at about 11:05 pm. The other party is a spy leader and must have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. At least two cars must be rented. The number of cars in Hangzhou
It’s rare, but it’s very common in the concessions in Shanghai,” Han Lin said.
Am I familiar? I am so familiar!
At this moment, I do have some memories of the Shanghai Concession in my mind. In the past, Han Lin often visited the Shanghai City, but he didn't go there himself. In fact, it was not much different from his subordinates.
Cao Jiandong was scolded by his boss, so he obediently assigned the task.
He also knew that this was Han Lin's unreserved trust, and he was qualified to be promoted to lieutenant based on his contribution to digging out the Japanese spy organization's stronghold.
Looking at the pharmacy in front of him, Han Lin suddenly remembered that when he was reading the information, there was a famous latent agent in Hangzhou who opened a pharmacy. He had been lurking in Hangzhou since the early Republic of China and had very deep qualifications. Even he was the Japanese consul in Hangzhou.
, you have to be respectful when you see him.
The pharmacy opened by this old spy specializes in selling sexual intercourse drugs and also sells painkillers such as morphine. The Japanese Concession in Hangzhou is in chaos and has many brothels, but his business is quite good.
Opening a pharmacy is just a cover-up for his identity. The old spy has a large number of Japanese spies who run small vendors as a profession. They go around the streets selling snacks and toys. In fact, they are surveying roads, marking bridges and terrain, and even mapping places they visit.
The shops on the entire street are clearly recorded.
Years of lurking provided detailed information for the Japanese army's subsequent attacks on Hangzhou and surrounding areas. As a result, the Japanese army's maps were much more sophisticated than the Jinling government's military maps.
Since Han Lin recalled the espionage activities of this old agent, he naturally did not allow him to survive. He just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to kill him. He must not let the Japanese invaders use this matter to make a fuss. It must be an accident. The key is
The "accident" cannot be framed by the Japanese.
