Another week passed quickly, but the situation in Shanghai had not improved yet. People from the Military Command Bureau were still frantically assassinating traitors.
At this time, there were only ten days before Wang Qiubai set the time for the meeting. Under such circumstances, Qingchuan SINOMACH finally became anxious and made a call to No. 76 to ask Li Shiqun to come over to discuss the situation.
As the person in charge of the Japanese intelligence agency in Shanghai, Qingchuan Guoji knew very well how much trouble it would cause if something went wrong at this meeting. Not only would it be embarrassing for Wang to kneel down, but the Japanese government would also be disgraced.
After all, everyone knows that the master behind Wang Kneeling is a Japanese, so as soon as Li Shiqun arrived, Qingchuan Guoji said angrily: "Director Li, how did you promise me before, but what is the current situation? You
You should know by heart that the people from the Military Command Bureau not only did not stop their actions, but also intensified their actions, causing people in Shanghai to panic. As one of the people in charge of Agent 76 Headquarters, what explanation do you have."
Li Shiqun was also a little troubled, but he was not worried. Ever since he guessed that Bian Yun's target was the delegate to the plenary session, he set up countermeasures and successfully eliminated several action teams, and he suddenly became famous.
Li Shiqun is a villain, and his status was low before. Now that he has gained power, he is naturally a little complacent. In addition, he thinks he has figured out Bian Yun's tricks, so he promised Qingchuan Guoji that he would crack the case in a short time.
The Shanghai Station of the Military Command Bureau will arrest all anti-Japanese elements in one fell swoop, which will eventually stabilize the situation in Shanghai.
Unexpectedly, after Bian Yun received the support from the headquarters, he launched a larger-scale assassination operation. Li Shiqun was immediately devastated by the beating. After all, there were only a few outstanding people in his group, and they could not compete with the Military Command Bureau.
of elite agents than.
Li Shiqun alone, in such a chaotic situation, could not help but lose sight of the other. In addition, the agents of the Military Command Bureau acted very cautiously, so they escaped from the hands of No. 76 several times, which made the Japanese very dissatisfied.
Facing Qingchuan Guoji's anger, Li Shiqun was helpless. He did not dare to shirk responsibility. After all, this villain knew Qingchuan Guoji's attitude very well. He knew that if he shied away from responsibility, he would make the other party even more angry, so he simply said
: "Captain, please calm down. I am guilty of underestimating my position. Please give me another chance. I will find the military commanders as soon as possible and eliminate them."
Li Shiqun knew something about Qingchuan Guoji, and knew that the other party looked down upon those who shied away from responsibility, because it was a kind of incompetence, so he simply took responsibility, which would make the other party look down on him.
Li Shiqun's idea was correct. Qingchuan Guoji also knew the current situation. Chongqing would definitely fight tooth and nail, and No. 76 was established soon. It would inevitably be difficult to deal with the elite agents of the Military Command Bureau, so after thinking for a while, he calmed down.
He said: "Director Li, the situation in Shanghai is very bad now. Many of our friends are being cautious due to assassinations by the Military Command Bureau.
Now the Plenary Session of the Central Committee is about to be held, but our friends are afraid of being assassinated by anti-Japanese elements and do not even dare to serve as representatives of the Plenary Session. To successfully convene the meeting, people from all walks of life must participate. Even if the number is smaller, it will still need more than 200 people.
Otherwise this meeting is a joke.
But now we can’t even get together not to mention more than 200 people, but even dozens of representatives, so how can we hold a meeting like this?”
Seeing that Qingchuan Guoji's attitude became calmer, Li Shiqun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had not shied away from his responsibility and that he had really done the right thing, so he said: "Director, the purpose of the Military Command Bureau is to try our best to sabotage this incident."
meeting, so we assassinated the meeting representatives and our friends at all costs.
However, Shanghai is our territory. If we continue to fight like this, they will definitely not be able to bear it. After all, in more than a month, we have eliminated nearly a hundred people, including many agents from the Military Command Headquarters. As long as this continues for a period of time, they will be trapped in a situation where no one can help them.
situation."
As soon as Li Shiqun finished speaking, Qingchuan Guoji immediately said: "We can't continue like this. After all, there are only ten days until the central plenary session. If the plenary session cannot be held as scheduled, the Empire of Japan will be completely disgraced.
I can't explain it to the cabinet, so you must find a way to eliminate those anti-Japanese elements in a short period of time."
As soon as Qingchuan Guoji finished speaking, Li Shiqun frowned and then said: "Captain, it is really difficult to eliminate those anti-Japanese elements in a short period of time.
Moreover, our opponents are very cunning. The action teams they dispatch are all independent and act according to instructions. Even if we catch a lot of people alive, it will not have much effect."
Li Shiqun didn't care much about this central plenary session. After all, it couldn't be held as scheduled. It was Wang Qiubai and the Japanese who were embarrassed. But he was just a small figure now and the impact was limited.
Moreover, Li Shiqun also has a little thought, which is to prevent the central plenary session from being held as scheduled. Only in this way will the Japanese pay more attention to him. After the meeting is postponed, he will go all out to wipe out all the anti-Japanese elements in Shanghai. Only in this way will he be punished.
Attention from all sides.
Therefore, during this period of time, although Li Shiqun was also attacking people from the Military Command Bureau, he did not work particularly hard. After all, this traitor was quite capable. Under the current circumstances, if he really wanted to go all out, the situation in Shanghai Station would be very serious.
Dangerous, at least he won't act as recklessly as he does now.
Qingchuan Guoji didn't know Li Shiqun's little thoughts, so he frowned and said: "Director Li, I know that my opponents are very cunning, but now that they attack frequently, they are more likely to make mistakes, so we have a chance to find these people."
Li Shiqun asked confusedly: "What's the agency chief's idea?"
Qingchuan Guoji said calmly: "Director Li, the Military Command Bureau's assassination operations occasionally result in some survivors, so the Shanghai Station will never give up the use of these escaped people.
So in the next operation, we can instigate the captured person and let him be our insider, so that we can find the Shanghai Station headquarters, and as long as we capture a few important people, we can kill them all."
Li Shiqun immediately said: "Captain Yingming, this is indeed a clever plan, but it is not that easy to incite rebellion and arrest people. After all, the person in charge of the Shanghai Station is not a fool. He should investigate every escapee, and we want to
Instigating rebellion and arresting people not only requires some time, but also requires the use of various means, which will inevitably leave flaws."
In fact, Li Shiqun had already thought of this method, and successfully planted informants in the action team. The method he used was also very covert. He just hid it from Qingchuan SINOMACH and planned to wait until the Central Plenary Session was postponed and the Shanghai Station stopped operations.
I'm taking action, so I don't worry.
As soon as Li Shiqun finished speaking, Qingchuan Guoji said: "Director Li, can't you even instigate and arrest people? You must know that you have a lot of living people in your hands. These people are against their old colleagues.
If you don’t understand, then as long as you choose a suitable target, it’s not easy to instigate rebellion.”
Li Shiqun nodded, but after thinking for a while, he spoke again: "Captain, I can give it a try, but even if it succeeds, it may not be realistic to crack the Shanghai Station in a short time. After all, our opponents are very tough."
He is cautious and does not meet with the action team at all. It may be difficult to find him."
Qingchuan Guoji thought for a while and felt that Li Shiqun was right, so he asked: "Director Li, what good ideas do you have."
Li Shiqun thought for a while and then said: "Commissioner, my subordinates don't have any good ideas. It was after your reminder that I came up with the strategy of instigating rebellion."
Li Shiqun's words made Qingchuan Guoji very irritated, and he said bitterly: "Could it be that the Central Committee Plenary Session really cannot be convened on time?"
Li Shiqun pretended to think, and then said cautiously: "Chief of the Agency, if it doesn't work, just say that Mr. Wang is unwell, and the Central Plenary Session will be postponed as a last resort. This will be an explanation to all parties. When we eliminate the Shanghai
Anti-Japanese elements are convening this meeting."
As soon as Li Shiqun finished speaking, Qingchuan Guoji's expression changed, and then he said coldly: "Isn't this self-deception? No one with real discernment can't see it."
Li Shiqun pretended to be a little panicked and said carefully: "Captain, what should we do? After all, No. 76's power is limited, and there is really little hope of cracking the Shanghai Station in a short time, unless it happens in the past few days."
Only if we have very accurate clues can we succeed."
Qingchuan Guoji thought for a while, and then sighed and said: "We still have to go all out to find the Shanghai Station headquarters and put these anti-Japanese elements in one pot, so that Shanghai will restore calm and the Central Committee Plenary Session can be held as scheduled. As for the failure
If it succeeds, I’ll think of ways to explain it then.”
As soon as Qingchuan Guoji finished speaking, Li Shiqun was secretly happy, and then said firmly: "Don't worry, head of the agency, my subordinates will go all out to find clues as soon as possible, crack the Shanghai Station, and make this central plenary session convened as scheduled."
Qingchuan Guoji didn't see what Li Shiqun was thinking. After all, this scum was very good at acting, so he said, "Yo Xi," and then gave Li Shiqun a few words of encouragement before letting Li Shiqun leave.
As the Plenary Session of the Central Committee drew closer and closer, the assassination operations at the Shanghai Station became increasingly crazier. As a result, the traitors were cautious and did not dare to serve as conference delegates, and rarely even went out.
Faced with this situation, Wang Qiubai and the Japanese had no good solution, so they decided to postpone the meeting.
In order to save face for the last time, the two parties negotiated and asked Wang to kneel down and explain to the country the reason for the postponement of the meeting through newspapers on the grounds of physical discomfort, finally getting rid of the matter.
