After thinking for a while, Kawashima Jinwu asked cautiously: "Your Excellency General, why did Foreign Minister Dongxiang suddenly come to Tianjin and come in secret? Is there anything confidential?"
The reason why Kawashima Jinwu asked cautiously was because his status was not high and he should not inquire about such confidential information. He only dared to speak because he was Tanaka Weisuke's confidant.
Looking at Kawashima Jinwu's cautious look, Tanaka Weisuke said softly: "Kawashima-kun, you don't have to be so careful. I trust you very much, otherwise I wouldn't tell you the news," and then he changed the subject and said
: "Foreign Minister Dongxiang has one important thing to do during this trip, which is to meet with the No. 2 figure in the China government."
As soon as Tanaka Weisuke finished speaking, Kawashima Jinwu said in surprise: "Your Majesty General, this is what happened. Is the China government going to surrender?"
Tanaka Weisuke shook his head and said calmly: "The Chinese government does not intend to surrender, but their internal struggle is fierce, and the second-ranking figure in the Chinese government has always been pro-Japanese, and because he was suppressed by Chang Kaishen, he was dissatisfied.
Especially after the war broke out, the contradiction between the two people became deeper and deeper, so General Ai Zuoyuan took advantage of this and lured the No. 2 figure in the China government to surrender several times. Finally, some time ago, Wang, the No. 2 figure in the China government, knelt down and agreed.
Cooperating with us has put forward a series of requirements.
Since General Ai Zuoyuan was only the chief officer of the intelligence department and could not decide many things, in order to reach an agreement as soon as possible, he sent a message to the cabinet and asked the cabinet to send an important person to take charge of the matter, so Foreign Minister Dongxiang secretly came to China.
"
After listening to Tanaka Weisuke's explanation, Kawashima Jinwu's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "This is really great. Wang Qiubai has a strong appeal among the Chinese people. Once he cooperates with us, he will rise."
Realizing the great importance, many half-hearted Chinese people will join us."
Tanaka Weisuke nodded and said in a good mood: "Yes, as long as Wang kneels down and serves us, this war will be over soon."
Kawashima Jinwu thought so too, so he echoed a few words with a smile, then thought for a moment, and asked with a little puzzlement: "Your Excellency, General, since Foreign Minister Dongxiang came to meet Wang Qiuzhen, he should have arrived in Shanghai directly, why did he come to Tianjin?"
.”
Tanaka Weisuke said softly: "Wang Qiubai is the second-largest figure in the China government. It is not easy to leave Chongqing, so General Ai Zuoyuan needs time to prepare.
The reason why Your Excellency the Foreign Minister came to Tianjin in advance is because the war in China lasted too long, so the country plans to set up a new department with full authority to handle China affairs. This department will establish branches in Tianjin, Shanghai and other places. Your Excellency the Foreign Minister
After coming to Tianjin, we will deal with this matter."
As soon as Tanaka Weisuke finished speaking, Kawashima Jinwu said cautiously: "General, after the formation of this department, will our Special High School Class be within its jurisdiction?"
Tanaka Weisuke said softly: "After this department is established, it can handle all China affairs, so the Special Higher Education Course will naturally be within its jurisdiction. Fortunately, this department will be jointly established with the military, so we have a lot of say.
"
Kawashima Jinwu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "That's good. If we are governed by those politicians, it will be troublesome."
Tanaka Weisuke hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "But in this department, not only people from the army, but also people from the navy will be involved. As a result, disputes in this place will definitely be inevitable."
Faced with this, Kawashima Jinwu could only smile bitterly. After all, the contradiction between the Japanese army and the navy was very deep, and no one could resolve this contradiction. The navy was so powerful that many things could not avoid them.
Three days later, Tianjin was still calm. Faced with this situation, Li Yunsheng was very surprised because it was not like the Japanese style, so he came to Xu Bing and asked: "Don't we have any news about the Japanese?"
"
Xu Bing said softly: "It's calm over there with the Japanese. The gendarmerie and the special high school class are not doing anything at all. I don't know what they are doing."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and couldn't think of any problems. However, now that he was in the concession, his safety was guaranteed to a certain extent and he didn't need to worry too much. He said calmly: "Since the Japanese have not taken any action, we should not be anxious.
, anyway, we don’t have any tasks in the near future.”
Xu Bing nodded in agreement, and then said: "District Chief, I received a safe telegram from Liu Gang before. They have returned to Tianjin and are hiding in the suburbs. In addition, the headquarters also sent a telegram to inform us that Guangzhou has been lost.
information."
Hearing the news, Li Yunsheng sighed, and then said puzzledly: "We have already sent back the information that the Japanese are going to attack Guangzhou. Logically speaking, even if they cannot defend it, Guangzhou will still be able to defend it if they are well prepared.
It won’t fall so quickly.”
Regarding this point, Xu Bing couldn't figure it out, and then said: "District Chief, the telegram from the headquarters also sent a message, saying that the Military Commission has decided to abandon Wuhan. It is estimated that the Japanese army will occupy Wuhan in a short time."
This news was not surprising to Li Yunsheng. After all, after the fall of Guangzhou, it would be meaningless to stick to Wuhan. So he sighed and said: "After the fall of Guangzhou, our lives will be difficult."
After finishing speaking, Li Yunsheng looked at the map of China hanging on the wall and saw that all the coastal cities had been occupied by the Japanese. China no longer had any outlet to the sea, and now China could only produce some light weapons.
, many things have to be purchased from abroad. Without a safe outlet, it is impossible to transport large quantities of materials, so the days in the future will become increasingly difficult.
Xu Bing also looked at the map on the wall, and then said softly: "District Chief, there is a French concession in Guangzhou Bay. This concession is connected to the Kuomintang District. We can also use this place to transport supplies."
Li Yunsheng said coldly: "The French are not good people. They are afraid of the Japanese and will never let us openly transport supplies, so this road is of little use, and the Japanese will not always give the French face."
, sooner or later we will occupy the entire Guangzhou."
After listening to Li Yunsheng's explanation, Xu Bing stopped talking. After thinking for a while, he said: "District Chief, the situation is so difficult. You said we can still see hope of victory."
Li Yunsheng thought to himself that now is not the most difficult moment. It will not be long until the second-in-command figure of the Nationalist Government publicly surrenders to the enemy, then it will be the most difficult moment, so he said categorically: "The final victory must belong to us.
, but this will take a long time and the process will be very difficult. Although there are many cowardly people who will betray the country, they will definitely regret it one day."
Although he didn't know how Li Yunsheng could be so sure, Xu Bing didn't say much. After a while, he calmly said: "District Chief, what should we do now."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "After the Japanese occupy Wuhan, they should not launch a major war in a short period of time. After all, their supplies are limited and their troops are also very tight. According to my judgment, they will definitely strengthen their control over the occupied areas.
, so we need to spread out the intelligence agents and put two or three of them into a team. In this way, as long as we don’t have problems, we won’t have any major problems.”
Xu Bing nodded, and then began to discuss with Li Yunsheng how to arrange it.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hao came to Li Yunsheng and reported: "District Chief, that Japanese woman placed a pot of flowers in the window at noon. It seems that she wants to meet you."
Li Yunsheng asked softly: "Did the people who were watching notice anything unusual? Also, did Hashimoto Yunan go there today?"
Zhang Hao said with certainty: "Nothing unusual was found. The Japanese woman did not leave the house at all in the past few days."
After thinking for a while, Li Yunsheng felt that this would not be a trap. After all, Matsushima Keiko was always at home. As long as he went to find her, she would not be able to explain. With this woman's shrewdness, she would not do such a stupid thing, even if she wanted to set it up
He himself would also use other methods, so he said: "I will go see her in a while and see what's going on with this Japanese woman."
Zhang Hao said softly: "District Chief, why don't you wait until night to go, so that if there is an accident, it will be easier to escape."
Li Yunsheng said confidently: "This woman can't be so stupid. If she doesn't say she wants to get legal documents from us, even if she really wants to set us up, she won't be in her home."
Seeing that Li Yunsheng was very confident, Zhang Hao stopped trying to persuade her. After thinking for a while, he said: "District Chief, just in case, I will bring some people to guard her house. If something happens, we will be there."
I can take care of you."
After hearing Zhang Hao's suggestion, Li Yunsheng thought for a while and felt that this was okay. Even if he was very sure, everything would be unexpected, so he said: "Well, you send a few people to guard the streets near Dadong Road.
"Look, I estimate that if there is any accident, the Japanese will definitely send out a large number of manpower. Once they discover this situation, they will ask our people to fire warning shots, and I will find a way to leave."
Zhang Hao agreed very much with Li Yunsheng's method, so he nodded, and the two of them discussed it again and went out together.
For the sake of safety, Li Yunsheng first went to Dadong Road and walked around. He felt that there was nothing unusual here, and there were also some people waiting. It seemed that there was no problem on the street.
Then he came to Matsushima Keiko's home again and found that there was no problem here. The bodyguards in the villa were still standing guard as before, without strengthening their guard at all. So Li Yunsheng found a secluded spot, then climbed over the wall and entered the villa.
