Two senior Japanese military officers were tricked by Wu Baozhong, but they thought they had guessed the truth, and of course they did not want to let it go. However, the matter was not easy to handle. After all, the concession did not recognize it, and the Japanese had no choice.
Now Tanaka Weisuke frowned, thinking about how to get the money back. After all, he was not willing to suffer the loss of being dumb.
"Your Excellency, General, I am going to arrest a few policemen for interrogation. As long as I get a confession, I am not afraid that the British will not admit it."
Kawashima Jinwu immediately made a suggestion, because he was unwilling to do so, so he proposed this crude method.
"Kawashima-kun, even if you get a confession, what's the use? The British can still evade it."
Tanaka Misuke is much smarter than Kawashima Kanetake. Of course, he will not think of this matter so simply, because the military police captain believes that since the British are already involved, they will definitely not get the money back through normal channels.
Only some dark methods can be used to achieve the goal.
Listening to Tanaka Misuke's words, Kawashima Jinwu said bitterly: "Then we can only suffer the loss of being dumb?"
"This is not true. We can do it covertly. As long as we find out the whereabouts of the money, we can snatch it back!"
Tanaka Weisuke is not a person who follows the rules, so he came up with this idea to investigate privately and then get the money back.
"Your Excellency General, Captain Kawashima, I do have a little insight, I hope you can listen to it!"
Naturally, it was Wu Baozhong who spoke. After all, he knew the truth about the matter, so he quickly interrupted, because if the Japanese really investigated carefully, they might find out the inside story, and then he would be in trouble.
"Do you have any idea!"
Tanaka Weisuke immediately asked. After all, Wu Baozhong always brings surprises to him. Even if he failed this time, it did not change his opinion.
"Your Excellency, General, it is not worthwhile for us to focus our energy on intrigues with the British. After all, the main target of the Japanese Empire is anti-Japanese elements.
Besides, the concession is the territory of those foreigners. If we try to force ourselves against them in the concession, we may not be able to take advantage, because that is not the empire's home court.
What's more, there are still a large number of anti-Japanese elements hiding in secret. Once we fight with the British, I'm afraid they will get involved, and in this case, we may suffer a loss."
Wu Baozhong said these words carefully, because he knew that the Japanese have always been arrogant and arrogant, and they would definitely be dissatisfied when they heard these discouraging contents.
But Wu Baozhong had to say these things. After all, if the Japanese really fought with the British, no matter whether they could take advantage or not, there would be a chance that the matter would be exposed. Naturally, he did not want this to happen.
As soon as Wu Baozhong finished speaking, both Kawashima Jinwu and Tanaka Weisuke fell silent for a moment and began to think about the pros and cons of this matter.
The silence between the two people made Wu Baozhong secretly happy, and he continued: "And this time, I had already planned it, but it still failed. It was because it was a concession and it was inconvenient for us to do it, which led to this result.
.
Therefore, I suggest that we should ignore the British and concentrate on dealing with the anti-Japanese elements. After the situation in Tianjin is stabilized, we can then settle the accounts with the British.
Besides, the military commanders still have a lot of gold in their hands. As long as they are eliminated, we can recover this loss."
Wu Baozhong's words sounded like he was thinking about the Japanese, so Tanaka Weisuke hesitated and made no decision for a while.
However, Kawashima Jinwu said: "But the anti-Japanese elements are hiding in the concession. If you want to deal with them, don't you still have to enter the concession?"
"Colonel Kawashima, looking at the current situation, we are fighting with the anti-Japanese elements in the concession. It is really difficult to gain the upper hand. We can only introduce them into the city and then eliminate them in one fell swoop."
Wu Baozhong had already had this idea, and had proposed it to Kawashima Jinwu before, so he spoke again. After all, this was a suitable opportunity.
Moreover, this move could kill two birds with one stone. After all, the military unification was designed according to the original plan, and it also diverted the attention of the Japanese, allowing Wu Baozhong to survive this crisis.
"How to lure anti-Japanese elements into the city!"
Tanaka Weisuke immediately became interested. After all, the battles during this period were all carried out in the concession, and the Japanese always suffered. The military police captain was naturally dissatisfied.
Moreover, Tanaka Weisuke also understood that if foreigners secretly supported the anti-Japanese forces, it would be difficult for the Japanese to gain the upper hand in the battle for the concession.
"General, that's what happened. I once proposed to Colonel Kawashima that we should hold a major cocktail party to lure anti-Japanese elements to come and sabotage..."
Wu Baozhong immediately said his previous thoughts again, while looking at Kawashima Jinwu. After all, he made his own decision this time.
However, Kawashima Jinwu didn't react at all, because he was also hesitating. Moreover, Wu Baozhong had greeted him before, so the Japanese colonel was not dissatisfied.
As soon as Wu Baozhong finished speaking, Tanaka Weisuke began to think. After a few minutes, he finally said, "Can you guarantee whether there will be any problems with the wine?"
Due to the rampant counterfeit banknotes, Tianjin's economy has been in chaos recently. Tanaka Weisuke has been frowning. Now Wu Baozhong's suggestion has made him think a little. After all, holding a large cocktail party can at least appease people's hearts.
"Your Majesty General, the urban area is our home field. As long as we prepare in advance, nothing will go wrong."
Wu Baozhong was very confident in his ability, so he immediately spoke out to give his assurance, because he believed that even if he could not find clues to the military commander, he could still ensure the safety of the reception.
"Okay, you can prepare. In ten days, I will invite people from all walks of life in Tianjin to hold a large cocktail party to appease people's hearts."
Tanaka Misuke immediately made a decision. After all, holding a large cocktail party can discuss many things. If everything can be guaranteed, it will be a good thing for the Japanese.
Another important reason why Tanaka Misuke decided to hold a cocktail party so quickly was that the war on the front line had already begun, and judging from the situation, it would take a long time, so various arrangements were required.
However, as an occupied area and an important economic town, Tianjin did not play a very important role, which naturally dissatisfied the Japanese high-level officials. Therefore, Tanaka Weisuke planned to take this opportunity to let people from all walks of life in Tianjin collect supplies to support the frontline war.
.
Hearing Tanaka Weisuke's agreement, Wu Baozhong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this level of difficulty was passed. As long as the Japanese focused on holding a cocktail party, they would not trace the US dollars, so he promised again: "Your Excellency, General
Don’t worry, I will do my best to try my best to use this incident to find clues to the military commander.”
Tanaka Weisuke immediately asked: "How confident are you that you can find clues to the military commander?"
Wu Baozhong replied calmly: "Your Excellency General, the military commanders are very rampant and will definitely not watch us hold a cocktail party. In this case, they can only use means to sabotage this matter.
And the entire urban area of Tianjin is our territory. As long as there is any trouble, my subordinates can follow the clues and take advantage of it."
After a pause, he continued: "Even if the military commander fails to take action and our plan fails, it will not have any impact. At most, it will be a waste of energy."
Although Wu Baozhong was confident and believed that the military commanders would definitely destroy the reception, this traitor still had a back-up plan. After all, the Japanese would arbitrarily guarantee that if the goal was not achieved, he would be held accountable.
Tanaka Weisuke also understood the style of military commanders, so he nodded, and the matter was settled.
At this time, Tanaka Weisuke thought for a while and brought up the matter of expanding the Rangers again: "Captain Wu, your Rangers are really limited in strength and don't have great rights.
And you have performed very well during this period, so the imperial army decided to expand the size of the special forces and give you more authority."
Upon hearing the news, Wu Baozhong's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Thank you, General, for your cultivation."
For Wu Baozhong, the expansion of the Rangers was a great thing. After all, it would be safer, not to mention the authority would be increased, so this sudden surprise made him extremely happy.
After that, the three people began to discuss the expansion of the hotel and the hosting of a cocktail party. They discussed it for more than an hour before the matter was settled.
Five days passed quickly. During these five days, the Japanese and Wu Baozhong selected many candidates to expand the size of the Rangers.
Not only that, Tanaka Weisuke also chose a stronghold next door to the Military Police as the headquarters of the Rangers and named it Black Clothes Society.
At this time, the Black Clothes Club no longer had just two or three big cats and kittens, but more than 150 operatives. It could be said that it was very powerful, three times larger than before.
After receiving such great benefits, Wu Baozhong became more serious about his work. In addition, he was a traitor to the military commander, and he was even more determined to deal with the military commander.
However, there is also something that worries Wu Baozhong. Feng Yongshan, who knew the inside story about the US dollar, did not die in the firefight that night. Instead, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He was currently being treated in the hospital.
The living Chen Yongshan is naturally a future trouble for Wu Baozhong, so the newly appointed president in black wants to get rid of this person secretly.
But before he could make any move, Tanaka Weisuke began to prepare for the reception and asked Wu Baozhong to assist him to ensure the safety of the reception.
The Japanese gave the order, and Wu Baozhong had no choice but to give up the idea. After all, this matter could not be left to others.
Tanaka Weisuke put a lot of thought into holding the cocktail party this time, and even held the cocktail party in a Japanese military police station to ensure safety.
The Japanese military police station is surrounded by military families or some Japanese expatriates. There are not many Chinese people on the whole street, so it is the safest place.
In accordance with the style of military commanders, Wu Baozhong sent many informants to keep an eye on the streets, and reminded Tanaka Weisuke to ask nearby residents to pay attention and notify them if any strange faces appeared.
This proposal made Tanaka Weisuke's eyes light up. After all, if you want to cause any damage, you must investigate the situation, so he immediately nodded in agreement.
As the Japanese sent out invitations, news of the cocktail party also spread throughout Tianjin. Whether it was patriots or some traitors and scum, they were all thinking about the Japanese's purpose. However, what these people didn't know came with this cocktail party.
