The reason why Lu Chengzhou asked this question was not to ask for power, but to test the attitude and determination of the Japanese.
The Japanese often think first when doing things.
If the Japanese army was prepared to launch a full-scale war, I am afraid they would have already been planning their next move after occupying Haigu.
"Your mission is temporarily in the British Concession. Once the war expands, these anti-Japanese groups will enter the British Concession." Kawasaki Hiroshi did not agree with Lu Chengzhou's suggestion.
In Kawasaki Hiro's view, it was normal for Lu Chengzhou to ask for power or money.
The Japanese army had long wanted to annex North China, and even all of China.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Hiroshi Kawasaki was already in contact with some Chinese pro-Japanese people to discuss the establishment of a new government.
However, Lu Chengzhou's current status is not suitable for him to join the new government.
Japan can annex China, but it is not arrogant enough to dare to go to war with Britain.
When Lu Chengzhou was in the British Concession, he could let the Japanese secret service keep abreast of the situation in the British Concession at any time.
"Okay, I will follow the teacher's arrangements. However, since we cannot act casually, how can we eliminate the National Salvation Association of all walks of life in Haigu?" Lu Chengzhou said in a dilemma.
This was actually the problem he least wanted to face. If the Japanese sent spies to cause sabotage, it would be easier to deal with.
However, if Lu Chengzhou was left to execute it alone, he would be in a dilemma.
"With your wisdom, are you afraid that you can't find a solution? If you can't eliminate it, you should at least monitor the National Salvation Association of all walks of life in Haigu." Kawasaki Hiroshi said slowly.
"As far as I know, the Haigu National Salvation Association from all walks of life does not have a fixed office space yet. Can you lend them the house at No. 22 Kangbo South Road?" Lu Chengzhou said suddenly.
"This is a good idea, borrowing an office space in your name...haha." Kawasaki Hiroshi's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good way to monitor.
Lu Chengzhou had had contact with progressive students before. If he could take the opportunity to break into the National Salvation Association of all walks of life in Haigu, it would be better than eliminating this National Salvation Association.
Once the National Salvation Association of all walks of life in Haigu is destroyed, everyone's eyes will turn to the Japanese.
"I suggest using someone else's name. After all, my identity is relatively sensitive." Lu Chengzhou shook his head.
This is destined to be a failed mission. If Lu Chengzhou accepts it, he will either reveal the organization's secrets or fail to complete the mission.
Both of these are things he is unwilling to accept.
"Use someone else?" Kawasaki Hiro thought for a while, weighing Lu Chengzhou's suggestion.
Although No. 22 Kang Bo South Road was the safe house prepared by Lu Chengzhou, it had always been the place where he and Lu Chengzhou met.
However, in order to monitor the National Salvation Federation of all walks of life in Haigu, we can completely leave it to them.
"Yes, if you use other people's names, you can live there openly and mingle with them." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
He has already thought of the most ideal candidate for Kawasaki Hiroshi: Zhang Sichang.
Last year, Nozaki asked him to monitor Zhang Sichang.
Lu Chengzhou’s evaluation of Zhang Sichang: He doesn’t want to make progress.
Zhang Sichang ran a Daxing grocery store, and except for occasionally handing over information to Lu Chengzhou, he was busy with business all day long.
It is said that the money Zhang Sichang earned from opening a store was more than his spy allowance.
Kawasaki Hiroshi was finally moved. Zhang Sichang basically had no role in the British Concession. It was just right for him to provide an office building for the National Salvation Federation of all walks of life in Haigu.
Lu Chengzhou first asked Zhang Baotou to return the house at No. 22 Kang Bonan Road. Since it was going to be lent to the National Salvation Association of Haigu, he had to clear the relationship first.
Secondly, he notified Kawasaki Hiroshi and asked Zhang Sichang to rent it immediately and move in immediately.
Zhang Sichang has been running a grocery store on No. 24 Road for more than a year. Not to mention renting an apartment, it is also possible to buy an apartment.
Just when Lu Chengzhou was about to talk to Li Xiangxue about the matter, he was approached by Cheng Ruien.
Cheng Ruian and Ma Yuzhen both graduated. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, they actively participated in patriotic activities and now both join the Haigu National Salvation Association.
"The Japanese have already taken action at Marco Polo Bridge, do you still want to remain indifferent?" Cheng Ruian has been guarding Road 24, but Lu Chengzhou has long since ceased to be the inspector. He waited for nearly two hours before he met Lu Chengzhou.
Passed by bike.
Cheng Ruien suddenly rushed over, grabbed the front of Lu Chengzhou's car, and asked coldly.
"Many people poured into the British Concession. Without us, would the British Concession be so peaceful?" Lu Chengzhou stood on one foot, took out a cigarette, tapped it, popped one out, and handed it over.
"I won't smoke." Cheng Ruien blocked it with his hand and tilted his head.
In fact, Cheng Ruien also smokes, but he doesn't want to smoke Lu Chengzhou's cigarettes now.
"What do you want from me?" Lu Chengzhou asked.
He knew Cheng Ruien's character well, and he would definitely not come looking for him if nothing happened.
"I just think you should do your part to fight against Japan." Cheng Ruian glanced at Lu Chengzhou and sighed.
He and Lu Chengzhou have been friends since childhood and are also the strongest brothers.
Although the two are not brothers, they are better than brothers.
However, everything changed after Lu Chengzhou was admitted to the police training institute.
Lu Chengzhou was no longer keen on participating in the student movement, and he no longer had the original hatred for the National Government and the Japanese.
"We have discussed this issue before." Lu Chengzhou shook his head, not wanting to discuss this topic with Cheng Ruien again.
"Okay, do you have a place to live?" Cheng Ruian said helplessly.
After graduation, he can no longer live on campus, and it is inconvenient to go back.
If you can live with Lu Chengzhou, not only can you influence him and try to draw him back into the ranks of the anti-Japanese and national salvation team, but you can also solve the accommodation problem.
"No. If you don't have a place to live, I can find a place for you." Lu Chengzhou said immediately.
"No? Who lives at No. 15, No. 24 Road?" Cheng Ruian asked.
He had just inquired that Lu Chengzhou was no longer the inspector, but an inspector.
No need to squeeze into a dormitory anymore, I rented a big house at No. 15, No. 24 Road.
"It's not convenient for me." Lu Chengzhou didn't get angry because he was exposed by Cheng Ruian.
"It seems that the road inspector is not what he used to be. Since we are looking for a place, can we find a bigger one, preferably one that can accommodate ten or twenty people?" Cheng Ruien said with a sneer.
"What do you want such a big place for?" Lu Chengzhou asked knowingly.
"Does the National Salvation Association of Haigu from all walks of life know? If you find an office for the National Salvation Association, you will be considered as contributing to the anti-Japanese war." Cheng Ruien said.
"If I'm looking for a place for you to live, that's no problem. But if you want to find an office for the National Liberation Congress, I'm sorry that I can't do anything." Lu Chengzhou shook his head, flicked the cigarette butt in his hand to the roadside, and prepared to leave.
"Why are you so stubborn? What makes you so cold-blooded? Do you really want the Japanese to take over your home before you can wake up?" Cheng Ruien became more and more excited as he spoke.
In his public speeches, he always made everyone excited and shared the same hatred against the Japanese.
However, facing Lu Chengzhou, an old friend, he could not convince him.
"I live in the British Concession now. No matter how powerful the Japanese are, do they dare to step in?" Lu Chengzhou said softly next to Cheng Ruien.
Before Cheng Ruien could reply, Lu Chengzhou stepped on the pedal, and the car rushed out, leaving only Cheng Ruien's back.
After Lu Chengzhou walked away, Cheng Ruien kicked him hard in the air.
"How was it? How was the conversation with Chengzhou?" Ma Yuzhen was waiting for Cheng Ruien at the Lishun Hotel.
He and Cheng Ruian are both members of the National Salvation Association, and they must live here because of work needs.
The National Salvation Association arranged for them to stay at the Lishun Hotel, but the prices here were too expensive, so they were naturally unwilling to waste their limited funds.
"It's no use looking for this loyal British bitch," Cheng Ruian said angrily.
"How about I go try?" Ma Yuzhen hesitated and asked.
"Don't waste your energy, I need to protect myself wisely." Cheng Ruien said coldly.
Ma Yuzhen sighed secretly, she did not expect that Lu Chengzhou would be like this.
"Don't worry, it will be solved by the organization. The big deal is, we can just go back and stay at night. Isn't it just an extra hour of walking at night?" Cheng Ruian comforted him and said that he had no plans to stay at the Lishun Hotel again. He would stay here for one night.
It's enough for his living expenses for a month.
However, the next day, Cheng Ruien received a notice that a "patriot" was willing to provide an office space for the National Salvation Association.
The location is at No. 22 Kang Bo South Road. It is a three-story bungalow with a back garden. The environment is much better than the Shunli Hotel.
"You see, as long as we unite all patriots, no matter how powerful the Japanese invaders are, we will definitely be able to defeat them." Cheng Ruian said happily after hearing the news.
Although the office location of the National Salvation Association has been settled, the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for the Chinese army.
After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Japan began to pretend to have peace talks, but in fact, it mobilized reinforcements from all walks of life.
After the reinforcements arrived, they immediately tore up their masks and ordered the Japanese troops to quickly seize favorable terrain and prepare to attack Peiping and Haigu.
The Japanese army first controlled sea and land transportation in Haigu. The Japanese troops stationed in Tanggu occupied the Tanggu Wharf and openly robbed the equipment of the Tanggu Wharf.
At the same time, the Dagu Shipyard was occupied, and 250 machine tools, 300 vises and other tools were all transported away by the Japanese army.
The Haiguang Temple Barracks occupied the main train station and the East Station, and quickly built a more than ten kilometers of light railway from the East Station to the Dongjuzi Barracks to transport troops.
In fact, the Japanese army increased its troops in Haigu in large numbers. At the same time, a large number of aircraft from the Japanese Provisional Aviation Corps conducted tactical exercises to invade and occupy Haigu day and night, and soon developed into street fighting exercises.
According to the intelligence obtained by Lu Chengzhou, there were at least 160 aircraft, including bombers and fighter jets, at Dongjuzi Airport and Zhangguizhuang Airport at this time.
In order to practice street fighting, the Japanese army announced that from the 25th to the 27th, except for Asahi Street, Akashi Street and Rong Street, all other street intersections in the Japanese Concession would be covered with sandbags and guarded by the Japanese army.
All signs indicate that the sky above Haigu is filled with clouds of war.
