At about 9:30 in the morning, Liu Qing showed up at a Western restaurant, casually ordered a cup of coffee, and then came to a seat by the window, patiently waiting for Zhao Chengde to show up.
At nine-fifty, Zhao Chengde, dressed in a suit, walked into the Western restaurant. He saw Liu Qing sitting by the window and walked over quickly.
Liu Qing chose a good location. Although it was not in the corner, there was no one in front or behind it. After all, it was not time to eat yet.
After the two people met, Liu Qing immediately asked: "Why did you suddenly come out to meet me?"
Liu Qing was indeed very strange. After all, she had just joined the military command and didn’t know anything about it. Tianjin was also a Japanese-occupied area. People from the military command had no privileges here. On the contrary, they had to be cautious. I really don’t know why the organization would ask for help.
she.
Hearing Liu Qing's question, Zhao Chengde immediately told the whole story, and then said seriously: "Now the organization has a task for you, which is to ask you to investigate and see if the military commanders know whether the Japanese
Hide these antiques there."
There was quite a fuss about the newspaper, and Liu Qing naturally knew about it, but he had been studying with Xu Bing for the past two days, and with the newly joined military commander, he had no idea that Li Yunsheng and the others were responsible for this matter, so he asked
He said: "Organizationally speaking, we can confirm that this was done by the military commander."
"Except for us and the military commanders, no one can get such precise information, so it must be them."
Liu Qing said solemnly: "Please rest assured that I will complete this task."
Seeing Liu Qing's attitude, Zhao Chengde was very satisfied, which was why he admired Liu Qing, so he said, "But you must remember that your safety is the first priority in everything."
Liu Qing said confidently: "Don't worry, I won't have any problems. Besides, this matter is against the Japanese. Even if I inquire about it, no one will doubt it."
Zhao Chengde said calmly: "The organization also thinks so, so you are asked to investigate this matter, but don't be careless."
Liu Qing said softly: "I will be careful," and then changed the topic and asked: "But after finding the whereabouts of these antiques, what are the organization plans to do."
Zhao Chengde said simply: "The organization will go all out to recapture these treasures, but the organization's power is limited and it doesn't know much about the situation. If possible, you should use the power of the military commander to pay more attention to the news on this matter.
"
Liu Qing nodded and said calmly: "I will pay more attention to this matter. If I have any news, how can I contact you."
Zhao Chengde quickly said: "You can come to the old place to find me, but if there is nothing important, don't come over easily."
After that, the two of them chatted about what happened in the past few days and left one after another.
At the same time, in the Japanese Military Police, Tanaka Weisuke was also discussing with his men how to use these antiques as bait to wipe out all the underground parties in Tianjin.
Tanaka Weisuke now believes that this series of assassinations are all caused by the underground party, so he focuses on the underground party.
However, after dealing with the underground party several times, Tanaka Weisuke knew that the other party was difficult to deal with, so even if there were antiques as bait, he would be cautiously prepared. After all, once the conspiracy failed, he would never be able to do anything again in a short period of time.
Opportunity.
Although Tanaka Weisuke already had an idea about how to use these antiques, when he announced the plan, one of his subordinates had a slightly different opinion.
This subordinate is called Kawashima Kintake. He is a veteran spy of the Japanese Special High School and an old subordinate of Tanaka Weisuke. He is very smart and capable, so after hearing the plan, he immediately said: "General, we have no reason to transfer these
Antiques, aren't they a little suspicious? Moreover, the underground parties in China are very cunning people. They are likely to see some flaws. If so, we may not be able to achieve our goal."
Kawashima Jinwu's words reminded Tanaka Weisuke that he really hadn't considered this, so he said: "Kawashima-kun, since you have seen this flaw, can you think of any solutions."
Although the two were superiors and subordinates, they were also friends who had known each other for many years, so Tanaka Misuke did not hesitate and directly asked for a solution.
Kawashima Jinwu was not polite and said simply: "General, it is not difficult to solve this flaw. You just need to find a suitable reason to prevent the other party from suspecting."
"Stop being so pretentious, just tell me if you have any ideas."
"We can set a fire in Haiguang Temple and burn down some houses. With this reason, no one will be suspicious."
Kawashima Jinwu had already thought of a countermeasure, so he spoke out the solution without hesitation.
When Tanaka Weisuke heard this answer, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he said: "Kawashima-kun, Haiguang Temple is the Tianjin garrison headquarters. Where to set a fire, don't say how much loss will be, just the impact, it will definitely be
It's very big. When the time comes, some anti-Japanese elements will become even more restless when they see our headquarters on fire, and the situation in Tianjin may become even more chaotic."
Kawashima Jinwu said coldly: "So what if it's a little more chaotic. It's just a good opportunity to let all the demons and monsters in Tianjin jump out. When we clean up the underground party, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Tanaka Weisuke thought for a while, and then said: "No, setting a fire at Haiguang Temple will have a huge impact, and the imperial army will lose face. I guess many officers will not agree. Lieutenant General Omiya
I won’t agree either.”
Kawashima Jinwu sighed and said: "Then use the second method. Send some personnel to attack Haiguang Temple. Then make the noise bigger and say it is an attack by anti-Japanese elements, so the antiques were moved. No one will doubt this.
The reason is that as long as all the attackers are arrested, the face of the imperial army can be saved."
"This method is feasible and others can agree with it."
"Your Majesty General, this matter must be carried out slowly. After all, the antiques have just been exposed. If something happens to us soon and the antiques are moved immediately, the underground party members may become suspicious."
Kawashima Jinwu is a very cunning guy, so he does things very carefully. If he had not come from a high background, his military rank would not be lower than Tanaka Misuke. Even now, he is Tanaka Misuke's main assistant.
After listening to Kawashima Jinwu's words, Tanaka Weisuke immediately said: "Yes, then I will leave this matter to you. After the arrangements are made, we will take action whenever you think is appropriate."
Kawashima Jinwu said seriously: "Hey, General, please rest assured that my subordinates will go all out to wipe out all the underground parties."
While several imps were discussing countermeasures, Li Yunsheng was also discussing with Zhang Hao which troops to use to attack Haiguang Temple.
After a day's investigation, Zhang Hao selected three centaurs as targets. These three centaurs had had several contacts with the Japanese. Although he didn't know what the outcome would be, it was certain that these people were by no means single-minded about resisting Japan.
Among the three men and horses, two men and horses are located in the south of Shanxi and one is in the west of Hebei. They were all former bandits. When the Anti-Japanese War broke out, they were recruited by the Military Command Bureau.
After reading the information about these three people becoming family members, Li Yunsheng asked: "Can the situation of these three people be confirmed?"
Zhang Hao said softly: "District Chief, you also know that our forces are all in the Pingjin area. The rest are people sent by the bureau before. I don't know their situation, so these materials are not credible."
I'm not sure about the degree, but with the style of our military command, the information shouldn't be fake."
Li Yunsheng thought about it carefully, and then said: "Let's send a few people to understand the situation and see who will join us. There will still be great public dissatisfaction. In addition, we can focus on the two people in Shanxi."
People are on the move, after all, they are in our territory, so there is a higher chance that they are not sincerely resisting the Japanese. If they are acting recklessly and causing great resentment among the people, you can be sure that they are not good people. Even if they do not join the Japanese, they will die without mercy."
Zhang Hao frowned and asked: "District Chief, if we send people to Shanxi, it will probably take two or three days. Plus the investigation time, the delay will be even longer. Moreover, it will also take some time for these people to come to Tianjin, so
Is it too late?"
Li Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the current traffic was very inconvenient, and the road was still in Japanese-occupied areas, so he said: "Let's move the two men and horses from Shanxi over. When they arrive, we will probably
Once we find out, whoever of them has the greatest public dissatisfaction will be sent to death."
Zhang Hao asked again: "District Chief, how are we going to arrange these people after they arrive in Tianjin? Moreover, the entire route is in enemy-occupied territory, so I'm afraid we won't be able to bring weapons here."
Li Yunsheng smiled and said: "This is easy to do. Arrange these people in the villages outside the city. Anyway, because of the war, many villages are no longer inhabited. There is no problem in hiding two to three hundred people. As for the weapons, that is even simpler.
Now, don’t forget that this is Tianjin, just go to the concession and buy it.”
"But if I buy a large amount of weapons in the concession, I'm afraid the Japanese will discover me."
Li Yunsheng said casually: "These people are just going to die. What if the Japanese find out? At most, they will be more careful."
"I forgot about this purpose, but District Chief, there is another question. These people were all bandits before. What if they don't obey orders?"
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "These people are all in the Kuomintang-controlled area, where our troops are. Even if they really want to join the Japanese, they will never dare to openly disobey. Plus, we can promise them some benefits, so there is no need to worry about this.
"
Zhang Hao thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the case. After thinking for a while, he felt that there were no other questions, so he didn't say more.
Li Yunsheng continued: "This matter will be left to you. Remember to send two more people to find out the situation, so as not to let the real anti-Japanese comrades die unexpectedly."
Zhang Hao nodded and saw that Li Yunsheng had no other instructions, so he turned and left.
