Lin Mo only felt a pain in his head. This issue was too troublesome and too sensitive. He was unwilling to get involved, but he also knew that Su Hongjie was right.
For example, there were situations like THT's unbridled siege of the Shanghai Station of the Intelligence Bureau, and many gangs either joined the Japanese, or sat on the wall and wavered in ambiguity, etc.
It may be too much to attribute all of this to the fact that the pursuit and suppression of the Ax Gang left them too busy to care for themselves and unable to interfere in the situation in Shanghai.
But if the other party can play its role, as long as it attracts some firepower, disturbs the Japanese actions, and scares the little ones, the situation can actually be greatly improved.
The situation in Shanghai has begun to deteriorate. Even if they can stop this deterioration, it will only be temporary and not a long-term solution.
What is the fundamental reason for the deterioration of the situation in Shanghai? The balance is being broken. There are many forces in Shanghai that are dissatisfied with the Japanese, but there are only a few who dare to truly stand up and confront the Japanese face to face.
Among the gangs, not many are willing to hang out with the Japanese, but even fewer dare to stand up and resist. Even if they are forced to do so, most like Liu Chen choose to escape.
The European and American forces, especially the forces in the concession, are definitely dissatisfied when they are occupied and robbed of their benefits, but do they have any decent counterattack? Not to mention doing it face to face, even a little stumbling behind the back is not bad. It is obvious that they only dare to take advantage of the Koreans.
Why does the fake condor make a fuss about it?
As for the Intelligence Department, it was also wavering in its confrontation with the Japanese. Even the Shanghai side was unable to parry, and it was easily interfered with by the upper-level decision-making, and there was too much uncertainty.
Our party is now powerless. The political and business circles in Shanghai can compete with the Japanese for profit. But if we want them to fight with the Japanese with real swords and guns, it is not possible, and they may not have the courage and ability.
As for people like Du Daheng, they may take some actions or provide some support for this kind of behavior, but at this stage, it is highly unlikely that they want to completely break up with the Japanese and start a real war with real swords and guns.
.
The only ones who may not be too much interference, have that ability, and are not timid to take on the Japanese are actually the Ax Gang led by Gang Leader Wang. Moreover, these people have top-notch mobility and can truly pose a huge threat to the Japanese.
If its swords, guns, gongs and drums confront the Japanese, coupled with its deterrent power in Shanghai, it will be possible to truly limit and control the Japanese expansion and maintain a balance in the situation in Shanghai.
"I know all this by heart, but you also know who were the targets of several major cases he handled? How can we report this kind of thing? Talk about it?"
Lin Mo had a look of embarrassment and confusion on his face. There were genuine feelings, but also false feelings. He had to explore the senior's attitude on this matter and make some trade-offs.
Su Hongjie also looked confused. This matter was too big for him to worry about, otherwise he would not have chosen to bring Lin Mo along with him.
But in the end, he made up his mind and didn't try to persuade Lin Mo anymore. He just told Lin Mo in a calm tone that if he didn't want to, he would report it to him for instructions.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Lin Mo's face relaxed slightly and said: "I didn't explicitly say that I won't go. If you were to report it and ask for instructions, it probably wouldn't be possible. I will help you report and ask for instructions."
At the beginning and end of the Qing Dynasty, we have to weigh the pros and cons, and there may still be some chance."
Su Hongjie breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. He also knew this. If he tried it by himself, it would be a fool's errand, and it might even bring serious consequences to him, including losing his wife and losing his troops. He was actually betting on whether Lin Mo was willing to help.
"I agree, but what I said is true, and the superiors have given their acquiescence. But if something like that happens again, what will be the consequences? I don't need to say more.
So at least we need to test them in some situations. Anyway, we have people inside, so we can know their attitude. We may even use some means to influence them internally in the future. You have to take effective measures.
In these matters, one can guard against the other side. If the situation is not right, one can adjust and change the attitude in time, or even attack and obstruct it; secondly, by doing so, it can also increase the possibility of passing."
Su Hongjie definitely agrees with this. Not to mention testing, influencing, and obstructing the other party, if the situation really develops in an uncontrollable direction, he will directly provide information to eliminate risks.
In the final analysis, he may have some admiration for the other party, but in the final analysis, his purpose is just to take advantage of the other party. When this goal is contrary to this goal, what he will do is to kill him.
Lin Mo's idea was to send some information there, test the other party's reaction, and confirm the other party's attitude, thoughts, whether there might be high-risk moves, etc.
As for the news, what is their attitude towards their initiative to fight against Japanese spies? What are their opinions? In the confrontation with Japanese spies in Shanghai, whether the other party is willing to help, etc.
The influence exerted is that people such as the principal are nominal leaders. If they are assassinated, no one in the country will be able to subdue other warlords. It will inevitably turn into a situation of warlord separatism in the Beiyang period. At that time, there will be no one to lead the resistance against Japan, and the enemy will take advantage of it.
…
Not only can you look at the other party's attitude towards this and test things out, but you can also see part of what they are thinking and whether they can exert some influence, etc.
These tasks were still very tricky and troublesome, but Su Hongjie still agreed and promised to implement them as soon as possible, but also asked Lin Mo to help with some suggestions.
"Then we'll say goodbye, and we'll go on according to the arranged arrangements. I guess I won't be able to contact you for a while."
After the two people got out of the bow and said goodbye to each other, the corresponding people also returned to the ship and sailed leisurely in different directions.
Half an hour later, Lin Mo met up with other team members at the agreed place. After giving instructions to Wang Mingkun's team members, he changed his clothes and got on a relatively shabby awning next to him.
What should I say about the clothes Lin Mo put on? They were clean, and there were no patches or anything like that, but they just had an old smell.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the matching is quite strange, a white top hat with a slight yellowish edge, and the creases are obviously wrong, which makes the style obviously drop.
The white top hat is matched with a black long-sleeved short coat with cloth buttons. Some parts of the black are a little faded.
That was okay, but the lower body was replaced by a pair of light gray Western-style trousers, and a pair of cloth shoes were put on the feet. It looked like they had been stored for a long time...
There are many people in a similar situation on the boat. The clothes and pants are in good condition, but the matching is indescribable, weird and... It is really indescribable...
And at the back of the cabin where everyone is crowded together, there are many backpacks. Most of them contain a broken sack, that is, an old sack with fried threads or patches, or both. It is bulging, and you don’t know what is inside.
What?
The boat, bearing a weight it shouldn't bear, slowly moved forward in the waterway, first entering a slightly wider waterway, then a wider one, and then entering a river, sailing steadily downstream amid the waves.
We met many boats along the way. Everyone on the boat didn't make any fuss and looked as normal. It wasn't until we got close to the city that they started pointing and looking a little excited.
But when they got to the shore, everyone seemed a little uneasy, especially with their backpacks on their backs. As they walked on the crowded street, the glances cast around them from time to time made many people lower their heads with a sense of inferiority.
However, the older ones among them were not at all strange. They were pointing around, talking and laughing, not caring at all about other people's eyes.
Soon, everyone walked from the bustling road along the shore to a slightly inferior road, then it became even more shabby, and then entered an alley. I don’t know if they took the wrong route or something. They walked around there for a long time before walking out.
"...here, here, is this road, this is definitely what he told me..."
Following a roar, a group of people gathered around a road sign on a fork in the street. They studied it for a while, and then walked in with some apprehension.
When you walk into Cha Street, it feels more and more like an alley. On both sides are Shikumen buildings with traces of time, and there are scattered shops and small shops on the roadside.
After walking for a long time, the road gradually widened, and there were more shops on both sides. They were connected together. Then we continued forward and reached a three-way intersection.
"...That, that, that's the one..."
Following a burst of shouting, everyone turned their attention to the hotel on the opposite intersection. This was a Y-shaped three-way intersection, and the hotel was at the tip of the smallest angle.
Moreover, the hotel protrudes a little further, as if to utilize the land as much as possible, resulting in a smaller intersection. I think people driving by may scold me.
On the fourth floor, it's a small hotel. It's not that fancy. It's probably hidden in the depths and not many people visit it.
"...Hey...we found the wrong intersection. They should have come in from that way. No wonder we walked so far..."
When they arrived at the intersection, everyone realized that it wasn't that deep here. Two hundred meters away from the two forks in the Y shape was the road with cars and people coming and going. The right hand side was a little further away, but you could vaguely see the outside in the distance.
of avenue.
"...Let's go...go in and take a look. The sun is killing people. I shouldn't listen to you. Why are you running so far away..."
"...Hey...you will blame me? Isn't this what you decided to come here? It's said that it's cheap here, and it's on the edge of two concessions, so you can go and have fun on both sides..."
The man who led the way became more and more aggrieved as he talked, but unfortunately the other party had already entered in a hurry. Fortunately, someone came up to him at this moment, patted his shoulder, and spoke to comfort him.
"...Okay, okay...Isn't he just that kind of person? Why bother with this? Aren't you at odds with yourself? Let's go! Go in and take a look. I guess it's time for him to pick this and that in there again."
After the visitor finished speaking, he dragged him into the hotel. As soon as he walked in, the guy was indeed there again making a whoosh, and the man who led the way couldn't help but laugh.
"Isn't this cheap? Doesn't it cost only three cents to live here for a day? Why does it say that it costs one yuan to live here?"
The guy who was yelling at me pointed at the house price written on the small blackboard next to him and asked with an annoyed look on his face.
The boss also frowned because he was fired, and said angrily: "That was the price two years ago, and you don't even want to ask, how much have house prices and rents increased now?
And the price you are referring to is the price of a double bed room. The price has never been lower than four cents. A single bed room is now six cents per room. This is what you are talking about."
"Is that expensive? It's doubled!" After the boss explained, the guy muttered something. Seeing that the boss was about to get angry, the man who was leading the way hurriedly stepped forward to appease the man.
"Boss, calm down. Don't pay attention to this guy. He will argue with anyone he talks to..." The man said as he took out the package of cigarettes, unwrapped them, passed the cigarettes around, and lit the fire for the boss.
