Lin Mo didn't stay with Lan Wei Ai for long, but he didn't take Wang Yousheng back with him. Wang Yousheng was arranged by him to continue to figure out some situations. Lin Mo couldn't go with him, but someone would come and replace him later.
Returning to the hotel where I stayed, I checked as usual as yesterday. Of course, I only paid attention outside the hotel. Zhu Sanbao and his wife had already returned and were waiting inside the hotel.
"...It went well..." Lin Mo poured a glass of water, and after asking about the situation on the road, he immediately made arrangements.
"Jin Wei, go to the south intersection of Zhaozhou Road and wait for Yousheng to meet you. Yousheng will inform you of the specific situation and tasks. I left him there to figure out some situations, but you are more familiar with Shanghai.
, the latter situation needs to be touched by you.
In addition, when you see You Sheng, don't just go over to join him. Pay attention to whether there is a tail behind him. Another reason why you should take over for You Sheng is that the risk of spying on relevant situations in the early stage is not small, and you need to take over and replace people.
If there is no tail, just find a hidden spot to contact and negotiate. If there is a tail, say hello to You Sheng secretly. The first choice is to cooperate with him to shake off the tail. If you really can't shake off the tail at the moment, don't hesitate, just do it.
Then go to the connection point and wait for the next order."
"...Understood...Captain Lin, you..." Song Jinwei nodded, but the purpose of arranging for them to come here was to protect Lin Mo. If they were to withdraw...
Lin Mo saw this and said: "Don't worry about me, I'm not that weak. Besides, this can be considered as putting you two on the most dangerous front line. It's better than me being in trouble on the most dangerous front line and you two coming to rescue me."
Isn't it?
In addition, if the operation goes well and there is no need to evacuate, you can ask Yousheng to go to the Huageni Road area at the junction of the French Concession and the Public Concession to conduct preliminary peripheral reconnaissance, just to see if there are any suspicious surveillance personnel.
Just observe it. There is no need to get close to confirm and check. Also, don't look back, just look once. After you come out, go to Xiafei Road, count from the intersection, look for the second store with the word "Fu", and wait there for Sanbao to pass.
Join him."
Lucky characters such as "福" were used a lot in stores during the Republic of China. It doesn't really touch the situation there, so the meeting can only be arranged in this way, and generally there won't be any problems.
"...Understood..." Song Jinwei nodded. He didn't say anything more this time and immediately started to prepare. After a while, he said goodbye to Lin Mo and left.
"Captain Lin, do I also want to go to Huageni Road?" Zhu Sanbao asked after watching Lin Mo finish arranging Song Jinwei and drinking another glass of water.
"I'll make arrangements later. Please tell me about the situation first." After saying that, Lin Mo sat down on the bed and leaned up. It was really uncomfortable to run outside in the middle of the day.
"...Okay..." Zhu Sanbao nodded, took the notebook he had just written, and said: "After we come back, Lao Song and I will record and summarize the findings in detail. I will give you a general report. Let's first
Go to the gold industry..."
Lin Mo listened while checking the information recorded by the two people, from the Shanghai Gold Industry Exchange, to the Shanghai Securities and Commodity Exchange, Shanghai Huashang Stock Exchange, Shanghai Huashang Gauze Exchange, China Machine-made Flour Shanghai Exchange and Shanghai Multigrain Oil Cake
Exchanges, these six formal exchanges, several people have figured out the basic situation clearly.
In addition to these, some statistics were also conducted to understand the situation of firms and traders that undertake buying and selling transactions, as well as banks, banks, companies, brokers, etc. that make investment loans or trust funds.
"... By the way, Team Lin, we saw several Japanese banks on Sanma Road, called Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, etc. We took the opportunity to inquire about their information and made some records.
However, we did not dare to find a broker who knew the situation of the Bank of Japan very well, so we only found some basic information, such as its person in charge, the Chinese people who have close contacts, and private rumors that it was engaged in some shady transactions.
such as.
By the way, there is a situation that I don’t know if it is useful. It is the bank called Mitsui... Before, we brought the Japanese yen seized to Shanghai, which triggered a banknote run. Soon after, there was a new person in charge.
It seems to be called Tuanwei or something..."
Tuanweidu! Lin Mofan saw it and raised his brows slightly. He raised his hand to signal Zhu Sanbao to stop. He always felt that the name seemed familiar, but it didn't seem like he had seen it before, so he took out his notebook.
Search carefully.
The notebook was brought in by Su Hongjie's people along with weapons, operation funds and other things. The operation funds were the money he spent today. The notebook recorded the operation. Lin Mo looked through the records to find out.
All kinds of important information are bound with thread, and they are always carried with them. There is also a blank book to record new situations. After recording a certain amount, they are removed and compiled into one piece.
Not long after, Lin Mo flipped through the recorded messages of important Japanese personnel and found another name, Tuan Takumo.
He was a famous banker and industrialist in Japan in modern times, but he was assassinated by the Japanese Blood Alliance two years ago. The various assassinations that occurred frequently in Japan during this period, and the assassinations of Japanese upper-level people, were mostly rooted in the military and invasion.
, this is one of the reasons why Lin Mo recorded it.
Another reason is that he was the top leader of the Mitsui Consortium before his death, and the Japanese espionage intelligence forces operating in China, the consortium's support, funding, and even the Japanese spies who used his identity to operate, are also an important part of it, and they are also war and wartime spies.
The beneficiaries of the invasion of China must naturally be recorded.
However, due to the limited sources of intelligence on Japan, most of what Lin Mo marked was public, that is, information that could be obtained through open source channels. Tuanwei Atsushi had not been recorded before, but he was a Tuanshi and worked for Mitsui Banking Corporation.
Enough to determine its origin.
Fortunately, Zhu Sanbao and Zhu Sanbao also obviously suspected that there was something wrong with Tuanwei Du, and they collected more details about his situation, such as his age, birth date, general life history, etc., they basically collected it all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Lin Mo was a little curious as to how the two of them found this. The result was a bit dumbfounding. It turned out that there was a pro-Japanese tabloid in Shanghai, and the editor-in-chief
I came back from studying in Japan, and I kept saying in newspapers that China was not as good as that, that everything was not as good as Japan, and that I was praising the Japanese for all kinds of bad things.
Lin Mo guessed that he should have guessed some of the other party's background, and then found out some information about the other party through some unknown channels, so he published a newspaper to flatter him. As a result, all the other party's information was leaked, and some brokers directly took the report.
It was sold as intelligence information, but the newspaper did not record the relationship between him and Dan Takumo. I guess the editor-in-chief still had some brains.
Brokers may sound mysterious, but that’s not necessarily true. Most of the information they sell can be understood through public channels or with a little effort to inquire, but most people don’t have the time, thought, and collection to do so.
Organizing is also a science, and most people don't have this ability, so there is room for them to exist.
In addition, in fact, the way Lin Mo collected information about Tuan Zhuomo was through newspapers. After his assassination, there were many reported articles, and newspapers also like to use other people's life experiences to increase the number of words. Lin Mo is from
The relevant information found and recorded in an old Japanese magazine, not to mention the age, even the various time points in the life experience are clear and detailed.
Lin Mo compared the information and found that Tuanzhuomo was born in 1858, while Tuanwei Atsushi was born in 1875. It is unlikely that the two are father and son, because Tuanzhuomo married another man after 1878.
If the wife is a woman from a prominent family, even if the wife is his illegitimate son, it is impossible for her to bear the Tuan surname.
And Tuan Takumo is the adopted son of the Tuan family. Judging from the behavior of Japan's powerful families, it is almost certain that he was recruited to continue the various industries and even various political and business resources of the Tuan family.
In the inheritance of various Japanese families, monad inheritance is often practiced, that is, the family business will only be passed on to one member of the next generation. Once someone is confirmed as the heir, no one else can even touch the family business.
To use a Japanese popular saying, even the dust in front of the stove belongs to the eldest son.
The eldest son is just a reference, usually the most capable among the younger generations. If you think that even he can't pass on the family business, then you will adopt a son or son-in-law, and the other person will inherit the family business. Once the heir is confirmed, his parents, children and descendants will be kicked out.
It's good. If you don't kick me out, you will be left as a slave for the heir, taking the blame, being a black glove for doing dirty work, etc. Anyway, don't even think about it.
Judging from the above situation, even if Tuanwei Atsushi is Tuanzhuomo's adoptive father and son or other direct blood relatives of the Tuan family, there is a high probability that he is doing dirty work under Tuanzhuomo. This can be seen from his resume first in North Korea and then in Northeast China.
Second, there is a high probability of engaging in various shady activities in those places.
Of course, his status is only in front of Tuan Zhuomo. To the outside world, he is still a distinguished nobleman, a wealthy family, and a close confidant of the leader of the consortium. He has a distinguished status and a huge background.
Lin Mo is basically certain that this person is the person behind the scenes, or at least the person who actually controls the post-fund raising in Shanghai. Only his identity and background can make it possible to invest such a huge amount of funds for this, and only this can
Dare to be so bold, so that Yokohama Shokin Bank can silently support the bank.
Moreover, Mitsui's base in China is the Northeast, and after September 18th, it made a lot of investments and started monopolizing a large number of industries. This shows that it has a lot of collusion with the Kwantung Army and even the spy forces in the Northeast, which is very consistent with Lin Mo's ideas.
Inference and judgment.
Of course, Lin Mo guessed that the other two consortium banks investigated by Zhu Sanbao, namely Mitsubishi and Sumitomo, were probably involved. Although the three were competitors, they also cooperated a lot, especially in various external affairs.
When engaging in shady activities, these Japanese consortiums can be seen at the same time most of the time.
Of course, this does not mean that they are united, but that as a competitor, outsiders may be able to hide what you do, but you will definitely not be able to hide it from your own rivals and competitors, otherwise these people will learn from you and follow you.
, I will imitate you, or else I will confuse you.
But this did not happen this time, and Mitsui obviously did not have the ability to convince other companies not to touch this huge benefit. It can only be that Mitsui came and had enough identity and background to prevent imitation, and mixed these things up.
People were also brought in, but Mitsui came here. This person with enough energy should be the one who dominates and shares the majority of the benefits with the forces behind it. It is estimated that only a few people can be so honest.
.
The situation of Lan Wei Ai now has a clearer context. The actual operation is on Lan Wei Ai Road, and the Shanghai branch of Yokohama Zhengjin Bank is in front of it, acting as a behind-the-scenes force and pulling the government into trouble when necessary. It may also be
Some people in the government acquiesce or want to gain capital from it. After all, the government is publicly owned, and the official positions, capital and other benefits belong to them.
Then there is the Bank of Korea that has slipped through the cracks. Behind it should be the Kwantung Army, colonial government officials, related spy forces, etc. The Japanese Army's main war faction should originally stand with the consortium, but they never wanted to promote it.
Looking at the colonial currency, these people may want to share more benefits, and actively or passively chose to stand behind the Zhengjin Bank.
After that, there is the deepest hidden Mitsui Bank and the consortium power represented behind it. If he had not found the person Tuanwei Atsushi, he probably would not be able to confirm this situation for a while. Moreover, this should not completely represent the consortium, or it may just be someone within the consortium.
It was done by one group of forces. After all, Tuanwei Du should be regarded as an old minister of the old dynasty. His appearance is worth pondering!
However, Lin Mo had no intention of getting to the bottom of this. Knowing it would not be of much use, not to mention that they did not have such information channels now, so they could just record their speculations and analyses.
