"The goal this time is extremely important. Yuan Shu, Li Shiqun, most of your subordinates are Chinese. This mission is very suitable for you. Li Jun, this action was proposed by Mr. Dofeihara. You were the leader of Mr. Dofeihara back then.
As for the development, you should take the lead, with Yuan Jun as your assistant. This is the main content of the operation. Li Jun, please take care of it. You can discuss the following matters. Remember, this mission is related to the overall situation of North China.
So we must succeed!" Itagaki Seishiro said to Yuan Shu and Li Shiqun for a long time before handing a cowhide bag to Li Shiqun.
Li Shiqun glanced at Yuan Shu proudly and said, "General, please rest assured, I promise to complete the mission."
Yuan Shu also smiled and said to Li Shiqun, "I will definitely assist Li Jun in his actions!"
Itagaki Seishiro smiled and said, "Okay, then go down."
Yuan Shu saw Li Shiqun preparing to leave with the portfolio, and quickly tried to stop him and said, "Wait a minute. Chairman Li, should we discuss how to do this?"
Li Shiqun laughed twice and said, "Team Leader Yuan, we will study this matter carefully on the 76th. When the time comes, we will let you cooperate with me. You just need to wait. I will leave first." With that, Li Shiqun
He got in the car and left.
Yuan Shu looked at the taillights of Li Shiqun's car and snorted, got into his own car, and rushed home. As he walked, Yuan Shu thought about this matter. The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became. When he got home, he immediately dressed up in disguise.
I left the house through the secret passage and came to the place where I met the Slippery Ghost.
After receiving the code, Yuan Shu entered the secret room. After a while, the slippery ghost walked in.
"What's wrong? Are you looking for me urgently?" asked the slippery ghost.
Yuan Shu nodded and said, "There is indeed something going on." Then, Yuan Shu told the slippery ghost what happened today, and then said, "I think this time it's probably not a trivial matter."
The slick guy hummed and said, "Then we must first find a way to get the contents of Li Shiqun's brown paper bag. And I noticed that you said that Itagaki Seishiro told you about the overall situation of North China. Will there be any change in the overall situation of North China? After all, you also said,
This time I just want to instigate one person to rebel. Although I don’t know who this person is yet, no matter who it is, even if they rebel against the enemy, they must have corresponding cooperative actions from Japan to destabilize the overall situation in North China. So I think the enemy must be targeting North China.
I have an idea for a big move."
Yuan Shu asked, "Then should I sabotage Li Shiqun's operation this time?"
The slippery ghost immediately shook his head and said, "No! Not only don't destroy, but you also need to cooperate!"
Yuan Shu asked anxiously, "What if that person is really important?"
The slippery ghost replied, "If that person wants to rebel, if you don't cooperate, he will rebel. If he doesn't want to rebel, if you cooperate, the little devil is doing nothing. The most important thing for you now is to find out what the Japanese army wants in North China."
do what!"
Yuan Shu stood up and said, "Okay, I understand, I will find a way."
After Yuan Shu left, the slick ghost said to the wall on one side, "Let everyone on the other lines find a way to find out. The devil is making a big move this time."
There was no response from the other side of the wall, and the slick guy didn't care. He knew that his comrades were all professional and that reassured him.
——Beiping
"Master... the third aunt is missing." A man dressed as an old housekeeper said tiredly to an old man sitting on the master's chair with his eyes closed.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, with a mustache and a long mandarin jacket. He looked a little decadent. He waved and said, "I know, it's okay. I'll be back in two days."
The old butler responded and said, "In addition, Mr. Kawamoto came to see you again."
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, no, tell him, my wife is missing. I am so anxious and unbearable that I really can't see the guests."
The old housekeeper responded and left. A young man came in and said to the old man, "Grandpa, this third grandmother must have been invited away by the Japanese, right?"
The old man nodded and said, "That's right, Yun Gan, you remember, it's embarrassing enough for our Wu family to have a Wu Sangui, we can't have another one! Even if we die, we must die like Chinese people!" "
This old man was Wu Peifu, who was the most powerful man in North China. Wu Peifu had been in Sichuan since he was defeated in the war. Later, because of the persecution of Chiang Kai-shek's intermediaries, he went north to Peiping and became a resident. In the 21st year of the Republic of China, he secretly worked in the name of the church. After gathering old people from Beiyang, they were later discovered by Chiang Kai-shek's intermediary, and public opinion was in an uproar. Duan Qirui had no choice but to go south, while Wu Peifu stayed in Peiping.
After the July 7th Incident, Wu Peifu knew that his reputation would attract attention and he would be targeted by the Japanese sooner or later, so he quickly closed the door and thanked guests. Later, Japan got the Wang Jingwei brand and no longer pressed so hard on Wu Peifu.
This time Okamura Neiji is preparing to make a big move in North China. His core idea is to use China to control China, and the leader of this use of China to control China has become a problem. Now Wang Yitang, Wang Kemin, Qi Xieyuan and others are famous. It was already too bad to be used, so Okamura Neiji fell in love with Wu Peifu, hoping that Wu Peifu could serve as the commander-in-chief of the North China Imperial Association Army.
Having said that, in fact, Wu Peifu did serve the Japanese when he was young. During the Russo-Japanese War, Wu Peifu cooperated with Japan to spy on Russian intelligence in the Northeast. Later, he was awarded a medal by the Japanese army. This is why Okamura Neiji Everyone thinks that Wu Peifu is a candidate for development.
And this young man is Wu Peifu's grandson Wu Yunqian.
Wu Yungan responded and said, "Grandpa, this is not an option. The Japanese picked up our family members every three days. Then they sent them back with great fanfare. They said they had rescued them from the robbers and brought so much with them." A gift, this obviously wants to tell us that whether we are alive or dead, we are in their control!"
Wu Peifu smiled and said, "Go and tell your family not to go out recently. The Japanese seem to be anxious. I will find a way to deal with them..."
two days later
"Haha, teacher, I rescued my wife. This time it was a good thing done by the Chinese Red Party! They said that the teacher was a warlord and must be defeated. Huh! That's nonsense!" A Japanese officer walked in with a smile and bowed to Wu Peifu. He said, with a smile as big as a chrysanthemum.
Behind the Japanese, there were several plainclothes people with a woman in Chinese clothes. When the woman saw Wu Peifu, she immediately cried, "Master..."
Wu Peifu frowned and waved his hand. The old housekeeper immediately went up to catch the woman and led her away.
The Japanese was the Japanese Major General Kawamoto. Kawamoto had worshiped Wu Peifu as his teacher a few months ago. Wu Peifu had no choice but to accept it. Kawamoto also gave Wu Peifu a large sum of money in the name of filial piety. Wu Peifu quickly returned the money overnight. He did this again and again, but in the end Kawamoto failed.
All these things were supported by Doihara. This time Doihara knew that Okamura Neji was also starting to have Wu Peifu's ideas, so he joined forces with Seishiro Itagaki to find a way to force Wu Peifu to submit. This time the drama was planned by Li Shiqun.
.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Even though Wu Peifu knew what Kawamoto was up to, he could only ask him to sit down and talk.
Sure enough, within a few words, Kawamoto mentioned that he hoped Wu Peifu could help.
Wu Peifu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "I'm over sixty years old, and now I can barely ride a horse, so I'd better not bother."
Kawamoto begged, "Teacher should understand the disciple's difficulties. General Doihara suffered the greatest setback in his life because of your refusal to leave the mountain. Now, bad luck will fall on the disciple again. If the teacher insists on refusing, the disciple will have no choice but to commit suicide by caesarean section to thank the emperor."
"
Wu Peifu looked at him and smiled and said, "I accept your wrong love and worship me as your teacher, but I don't see you reading the scriptures and asking questions. There is only a teacher-student relationship between you and me. Why do you need to use the false name of master and disciple to force me?"
Kawamoto was so angry that he could not speak when he saw that Wu Peifu refused to obey. Li Shiqun, who came in disguise, saw Wu Peifu like this and said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Wang has admired your name in Nanjing for a long time. This time I have been specially sent to wait for you."
I came to pick you up and take you to Nanjing to discuss state affairs. I wonder if you would be willing to go?"
Wu Peifu looked at Kawamoto with confusion, and Kawamoto said, "This is Mr. Wang's subordinate, Mr. Li Shiqun!"
Wu Peifu immediately said with a clear look, "It turns out to be Demon No. 76... Oh, Committee No. 76, haha, I have heard of Mr. Li's reputation in the north for a long time... However, I am very curious, this time we are
Where will the meeting be held?”
Li Shiqun immediately said, "It's General Xiwei's home. General Xiwei will host a banquet in honor of us."
Wu Peifu laughed loudly, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it, if it is to discuss the national affairs of us Chinese people, naturally we should go to our Chinese place. What's the point of going to General Xiwei's house? If you really want to talk, I'm interested in it."
It’s a good place in front of Shanling.”
"You!" Li Shiqun glared at Wu Peifu, gritting his teeth in anger.
Kawamoto glared at Li Shiqun, turned back to Wu Peifu and said, "Teacher, the misunderstanding between China and Japan is too deep. Someone from both the empire and China should stand up and find a way to peace. Don't you want to save the people from the fire and water, teacher?"
Wu Peifu nodded and said, "Yes, there should be peace. But there is only one way to peace - and that is to withdraw all Japanese troops from China!"
Kawamoto felt that he could no longer talk, so he stood up and said, "Teacher, it seems that we still cannot agree on some opinions. Students should leave first."
Wu Peifu picked up the teacup and said, "See you off!"
Kawamoto waved his hand and led everyone to leave. Wu Peifu put down the tea cup and said, "Kawamoto, you asked me to be your teacher, but I didn't teach you anything. It's really inappropriate. I will teach you a passage from our Chinese sage Mencius today."
Let’s talk, a small country cannot fight against a big one, a small country cannot fight against a large number, and a weak country cannot fight against a strong one. China is big and has many people, so Japan will eventually fail. This is my final view on the Sino-Japanese war.”
Kawamoto was so angry that he only said one sentence: "The commander will regret it!"
When Kawamoto and others returned to the headquarters, Yamashita Fengfumi asked, "How was it?"
Kawamoto lowered his head and said apologetically, "Wu Peifu refuses to take soft and hard advice. He is really a tough guy."
Yuan Shu, who stayed at the headquarters, looked at Li Shiqun and smiled without saying anything. Li Shiqun looked at him angrily and said, "Huh! Wu Peifu is a soldier and has a very tough character. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to convince him. I don't know what Brother Yuan is good at."
Is there any way?"
Yuan Shu smiled, looked at his clothes and said, "I am the deputy, so naturally I will cooperate. If you have an idea, I still need Brother Li to come and get it."
Both Yamashita Fengwen and Kawamoto were happy to see the infighting between Li Shiqun and Yuan Shu, and did not blame Yuan Shu. Kawamoto said, "Wu Peifu is from Shandong and an important chess piece in our plan. He must win. I will see if I can be tougher."
Some?"
Yamashita Fengwen nodded and said, "Okay, then let's threaten it with force."
There was no change on Yuan Shu's face, but his heart was in turmoil. He was from Shandong? Why should he emphasize that Wu Peifu was from Shandong? Could it be that the Japanese's goal was Shandong?
Yuan Shu didn't know whether what Yamashita Fengwen and Kawamoto said was true or false, so he could only rely on himself to judge. The four of them said a few more words and then dispersed.
In Nanjing, Nakanishi Ko also received instructions from Slippery, hoping to get some clues, but there was no progress. On this day, he came to Itagaki Seishiro's office to report the intelligence of Wang Jingwei and others.
After hearing this, Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said, "Well, good, you can go down."
Nakanishi Gong immediately retreated and carefully closed the door from the outside. At this time, Itagaki Seishiro's phone suddenly rang. Itagaki Seishiro immediately picked it up and said, "I am Itagaki Seishiro! Oh, it's Okamura-kun, yes, I am
Some opinions.”
Okamura? Nakanishi Gong immediately thought of Okamura Neiji, the commander of the North China Front Army in Peiping. He wanted to eavesdrop, but there were guards around him, so he couldn't do it. Nakanishi Gong had the idea to pretend not to notice, and suddenly bumped into him.
When he arrived at the guard guarding the door, the documents in his hands were immediately scattered all over the floor.
Nakanishi Gong had a higher position, and the guards did not dare to say anything. They just said "Sorry!" while helping Nakanishi Gong pick it up. Nakanishi Gong also smiled and knelt down and said, "I was obsessed with something. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Pay attention to the sound inside the door.
"...Okamura...North China...Sanguang..."
"Sir, your things." The guard said to Nakanishi Gong, who quickly took it with a smile. At this time, he heard the sound of the drawer being pulled. He knew that he could not stay here any longer, so he smiled and talked to the guard.
Nod and leave.
——The thing is in Itagaki Seishiro’s drawer!
Issei Nakanishi's heart was beating constantly. There must be some important information in Itagaki Seishiro's drawer, and it was related to North China. It might be the outline document of the upcoming Japanese operation in North China, but there were always guards outside Itagaki Seishiro's office.
As for the guards, it was even more impossible to enter through the window, but Nakanishi Isao was not ready to give up just like that. He decided to find a way to get into Seishiro Itagaki's room and seize the important documents that might exist!
