Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh smell the wind
Early the next morning, several major newspapers in the concession published news about Japan's looting of antiques in the occupied territories, and this news was placed on the front page.
After this news was announced, it caused a great response. Although most of North China was occupied by the Japanese and newspaper controls were implemented, the news spread quickly.
As soon as this conspiracy was revealed, several leaders of the Tianjin underground party immediately gathered together to discuss how to handle the matter.
Zhao Wentian, the first person in charge of the Tianjin Municipal Party Committee, first expressed his position: "As for the Japanese looting of our antiques, my opinion is that we must do our best to stop it."
As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, the other two members of the Standing Committee also expressed their opinions and agreed with this opinion. Therefore, the party organization immediately decided to make every effort to prevent this matter and recover the antiques.
However, they didn't know how to deal with this situation. After all, the little devil had collected a lot of things, and it was really difficult to get them back.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Chengde said: "Comrade Wen Tian, now that the news has been made public, our compatriots will definitely find ways to preserve their own things, especially the families who can own these things. They are all wealthy families.
You must have your own method, so not many antiques will be lost."
Zhao Wentian sighed and said: "Before this matter was made public by the newspapers, I had received some information. However, the Japanese were very secretive about this matter, so the understanding was not very thorough. I also did not expect that the Japanese would collect information throughout North China.
Regarding antiques, what is certain now is that this matter has been going on for a long time, so the amount of antiques lost to our country will definitely not be small."
After hearing the news, Zhao Chengde became serious. After all, it wouldn't matter if the loss was less, but if he had to lose a large number of antiques, he would be sorry to the Chinese people.
Another municipal party committee leader, Zhang Qingshan, said: "Comrade Wen Tian, the top priority now is to investigate where the Japanese hid the looted antiques. Only by getting the whereabouts of these things can we find a way to get them back."
Zhao Wentian immediately said: "I have contacted my superiors and asked the underground organizations in North China to fully investigate the matter. My superiors have also agreed with my opinion, but there is no news yet."
As soon as Zhao Wentian finished speaking, Zhao Chengde spoke again: "Comrade Wentian, the Japanese looted antiques and must have wanted to transport them back to Japan or sell these antiques to foreign countries, so I thought they would definitely transport these items to Tianjin
, which will be very convenient whether it is shipped back to Japan or traded."
"You are right, but Tianjin is so big, it is not easy to find the whereabouts of these things."
Being able to serve as the leaders of the Tianjin Municipal Committee, these people are very smart, so as soon as Zhao Chengde finished speaking, Zhao Wentian confirmed this opinion.
After a few minutes, Zhao Chengde said softly: "Comrade Wen Tian, how did you say this matter was exposed? After all, the Japanese did this relatively covertly, and ordinary people cannot get the news, and from the newspaper
Judging from the content, they have a very good understanding of the situation in Shanxi and around Peiping, and the content is also very detailed. However, these two places are hundreds of miles apart, so who can get the news from both places at the same time."
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhao Chengde continued: "Before the matter was made public in the newspapers, even we only knew a little bit of the news, and it was all news around Tianjin, but others knew so much, and they were the only ones who could investigate the matter so clearly.
of people.”
"Yes, apart from us, the only people over there who can pay attention to this matter are the people over there. It seems that the Congress Party's intelligence work in Tianjin is pretty good, but what does this have to do with us."
Zhao Chengde solemnly said: "The intelligence agency over there is mainly composed of two people, but the group of people in the Central Command do not have this ability at all. They can only survive under the attack of the Japanese. Although the Tianjin Station of the Military Command was taken over by the Japanese,
But now they have re-established the North China District, and the district chief is still a powerful figure. Since this person arrived in Tianjin, he not only helped the Liu family, but also sent a large number of agents to assassinate traitors. Even the great traitor Duan Zhikun in Peking was killed by them.
He was killed, so they must have exposed this matter."
Zhao Wentian nodded and said in agreement: "You are right. The military commander may have discovered the matter when he assassinated Duan Zhikun in Peking, so they exposed the matter after returning to Tianjin.
"Their purpose of exposing this matter is to stop the Japanese conspiracy, and the military command is very powerful, so I guess they may know the whereabouts of these antiques."
"You mean to ask Liu Qing to inquire about the whereabouts of these antiques within them."
Zhao Wentian was also a smart man and immediately guessed Zhao Chengde's plan.
"Yes, since the Military Command Bureau has clues, it is most convenient for Liu Qing to investigate the matter. Moreover, this matter is aimed at the Japanese. Even if we know about it, the Military Command Bureau will not doubt her inside. She will never
risk of exposure.”
Zhao Wentian thought for a while and felt that there was no danger in this matter, so he said: "Okay, you can contact Comrade Liu Qing and ask her to investigate the news of this matter with the military commander, but don't expose yourself."
"Don't worry, I will let her put her own safety first."
At this time, Zhang Qingshan said: "Comrade Wen Tian, we cannot place all our hopes on Liu Qing, and the Military Command Bureau made this matter public just to make the compatriots prepare to protect their treasures. From this point on
It seems that they probably don’t take this matter to heart, so they may not investigate the whereabouts of these things.”
As soon as Zhang Qingshan finished speaking, the other two people thought for a moment and agreed, so Zhao Wentian said: "Then we will make two preparations. While Comrade Liu Qing investigates this matter, the other comrades must also investigate secretly."
While several leaders of the underground party were discussing how to find the whereabouts of the antiques, in the Japanese Gendarmerie in urban Tianjin, Gendarmerie Captain Tanaka Misuke was getting angry at several of his subordinates: "Baga, the assassination case has not been solved yet, and now it has happened again."
If something like this happened, who did it?"
Immediately, an officer said: "Captain Tianzhong, anyone who can do such a thing must be a Chinese, and the Tianjin Station of the Military Command was just wiped out by us, so my subordinates believe that what happened during this period was all caused by the Eighth Route Underground
The Party did it.”
Tanaka Weisuke nodded and said fiercely: "These damn underground gangs are so difficult to deal with. We must find them and catch them all."
The subordinates spoke again: "The underground party is very cunning and hidden very deep. We have tried our best, but there is still no news about them. In the opinion of my subordinates, there is only one way to find them in a short time.
Just use these antiques as bait."
Tanaka Weisuke frowned and said hesitantly: "Isn't it too dangerous to use these antiques as bait? If some of these things are damaged, the losses will be huge."
The subordinate said seriously: "Captain, we know nothing about these underground parties. Only by using this method can we find these underground parties as soon as possible and give an explanation to the superiors. Moreover, these underground parties will care more about these antiques than us, so
Even if there is an accident, they will not damage these things."
Tanaka Weisuke frowned, carefully thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, and then said: "I need to discuss this matter with the garrison to see what the garrison commander wants."
At this time, the phone on the table rang. After Tanaka Misuke answered the phone, he heard a majestic voice coming from inside: "Come to my place right away."
"Hi, my subordinate will be over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Tanaka Weisuke said to his subordinates: "You continue to investigate this matter. I am going to Haiguang Temple now, and I will talk about the rest when I come back."
After saying that, he left the office, called a dozen military policemen, and drove to Haiguang Temple.
Ten minutes later, Tanaka Weisuke appeared in Haiguang Temple and went directly to the conference room.
In the conference room at this time, there were five people sitting, all of whom were senior officials of the Tianjin Garrison. The person sitting in the chair was an army lieutenant general named Kazuo Omiya, who was the commander of the Tianjin Garrison and the chief of staff of the North China Front. In North China,
, is a person who can be ranked high.
Entering the conference room, Tanaka Weisuke said seriously: "Sir, I'm here."
Kazuo Omiya said coldly: "Tanaka-kun, your performance makes me very disappointed. A few days ago, there were frequent assassinations around Tianjin. Now the antique matter has been exposed again. In this way, we want to collect China
It’s very difficult to find antiques. What do you have to say about this?”
Tanaka Weisuke is very depressed, because he is the captain of the military police and the head of the intelligence agency. This is also a characteristic of North China. Because of Enjiro's strength and the fact that the intelligence agency is dominated by the Special High School, most areas have
The captains of the military police are all people from the special higher education course, so if something like this happens, he can't shirk responsibility at all.
After a while, Tanaka Weisuke whispered: "Sir, I know my performance disappointed you, but please rest assured that this will never happen again."
Omiya Kazuo immediately said: "Now that things are like this, it is useless to say anything else, but what is going on? Didn't you tell me before that you just cracked the Chinese secret service and wiped out all the personnel?
What?"
Tanaka Weisuke explained: "Sir, there are many parties in China, and each party has its own intelligence agency. In the past period, we focused on the people in Chongqing, and for the people in other agencies,
The intensity of the attack was smaller, which allowed them to take advantage of the loophole."
Omiya Kazuo nodded, and then said: "Tianjin is our territory, and it is the rear of the war. It is still very prosperous. The empire has gained great benefits here, so no matter what, we must maintain the stability here. You
You must give me an answer as to when these anti-Japanese elements will be dealt with."
