The captured American officers deliberately made some noise at the Shanghai dock, so the intelligence personnel of the military command quickly discovered this situation.
Later, other means were used to find out that the captured American officers were all imprisoned in Bai Mansion by the Japanese, which made the situation a little clearer.
Now that he knew that the target people were in the Bai Mansion, Li Yunsheng naturally wanted to find a way to rescue them, so the first thing he had to do was to find out the specific situation in the Bai Mansion.
On the other side, the captured American officers were also staying in the Bai Mansion uneasily.
Among them, Wright and Donald lived in the same room in order to facilitate discussion of countermeasures.
Due to the changes in the war situation, the Japanese were very tolerant of these captured American officers.
Therefore, no one would pay attention to such a trivial matter, and it made it easier for the two American lieutenant generals to discuss countermeasures.
"Donald, the Japanese are very polite to us now because they still have hope and expect us to write letters to the country.
Once the Japanese feel that we are not going to cooperate with them, the situation will probably change."
Wright's mind is very shrewd. Now that he has seen the hope of regaining his freedom, he is no longer discouraged, but is actively thinking about countermeasures.
"Given the Japanese character, this situation is completely normal."
Donald also agreed, because the previous two years as prisoners of war had given these captured American officers a deep understanding of the Japanese style.
Therefore, Donald believes that once they stop writing letters to the country and thwart the Japanese's wishful thinking, the current preferential treatment will disappear.
Even if the Japanese were forced by the current situation and did not dare to kill them, they would still suffer.
"Then what are we going to do?"
Although he had made up his mind not to write letters to China, Wright, who was born into a noble family, was not willing to endure hardship at all, so he kept thinking of ways.
"We can only hang on to the Japanese, let them see hope, and try to delay it for a little longer."
Donald didn't have any good ideas. After all, they were all prisoners and the initiative was in the hands of the Japanese.
"well!"
Wright sighed, feeling a little irritated because he understood that delaying time was the last resort.
After all, the Japanese are not fools. How much time can we delay by just hanging on to them?
"It would be great if we could know what's going on in the outside world!"
Because things couldn't be changed, Donald also had time to think about other things, and then he became concerned about the situation outside.
"If we ask the Japanese, can they tell us some information?"
Wright immediately put forward this suggestion, because after arriving in Shanghai, the American lieutenant general found that the Japanese were very tolerant of them, so he dared to think so.
"The Japanese want us to write letters to the outside world. How can they let us know the situation in the outside world?"
Donald is not optimistic about this proposal. After all, the Japanese treat them well and just want them to write letters to the country and promote peace talks between the two countries as soon as possible.
If they understood the external situation, they would definitely make the most advantageous choice, which is inconsistent with the Japanese plan.
"Not always?"
Wright was somewhat confident because he felt that the Japanese had weird personalities and could do many surprising things.
"Then you can give it a try. Anyway, if the Japanese don't agree, there's nothing to lose."
Although he is not optimistic about this matter, Donald does not object. After all, the Japanese are now asking for something from them, and even if they do not agree to their request, they will not do anything to them.
"Just give it a try?"
Wright made a decision immediately, and then found the Japanese person in charge in the Bai Mansion, intending to ask them for some newspapers.
In order to achieve his goal, Wright even specifically said that he wanted to understand a little bit about the current situation before he could think about how to write a letter to the country.
Originally, the Japanese person in charge of the Bai Mansion did not want to agree to this request, but Wright's words gave him some ideas, and he nodded.
Having achieved his goal, Wright returned to his room with great satisfaction and waited patiently for the Japanese to deliver the newspaper.
At the same time, the intelligence personnel of the military command also focused on the service personnel in Bai Mansion.
In the Bai Mansion, there are more than a dozen service personnel to take care of these American prisoners.
However, these service staff do not need to stay at Bai Mansion 24 hours a day, especially the chefs, who go home every day.
There are two chefs in Bai Mansion, both Chinese.
The reason why the Japanese use Chinese chefs is also a helpless choice.
Because the war lasted for too long, Japan's manpower was depleted, so there were not many chefs.
The only good chefs they have are serving Japanese high-level officials and nobles. However, this time the American prisoners were given preferential treatment, so there were a few chefs missing.
With no choice, the Japanese military could only find two honest and reliable people to serve these American prisoners.
Therefore, the intelligence agents of the military commander, after conducting some investigations, set their target on a chef.
The chef who was targeted by the military commander was named Han Sixi. He had been working for the Japanese since the fall of Shanghai.
However, this person was not a traitor, but an ordinary citizen. He just had a large family, some old and some young, so in order to survive, he worked for the Japanese.
However, although Han Sixi worked for Japan, he was not considered a traitor. At most, he could be regarded as an obedient citizen of the Japanese.
This is also the situation of most people in occupied areas. After all, most industries have been expropriated by the Japanese. If you want to survive, you must work for the Japanese.
The military agents who were eyeing Han Sixi did not take immediate action. Instead, they observed him for a day and learned all about this person before deciding to take action.
Since this matter was very important, Zhang Hao decided to take action personally just in case.
On the day of the attack, Han Sihai finished his work at Bai Mansion and was kidnapped by military commanders as soon as he walked to the door of his home.
The kidnapping operation went very smoothly without causing any disturbance. After all, Han Sixi was just an ordinary citizen and had no ability to resist.
"Chef Han, please don't be offended if I invite you here rashly."
After kidnapping Han Sixi, Zhang Hao took him to the prepared place and greeted him with a smile.
"Who are you?"
Han Sixi was a little nervous. After all, he was a common man who was suddenly kidnapped, so he was naturally very scared.
In fact, it was not easy for Han Sixi to stay calm without shouting.
Moreover, this person was a bit clever. Ever since he was kidnapped, he had kept his eyes closed and not looked at Zhang Hao and the others at all.
"It doesn't matter who we are, Chef Han. I just want to ask you a few questions and you can answer them truthfully!"
Zhang Hao's tone was very gentle. After all, Han Sixi was a Chinese. Even if he worked for the Japanese, he had not done anything harmful to nature.
Han Sixi did not speak, but simply nodded without even opening his eyes.
Seeing Han Sixi's cooperation, Zhang Hao was very satisfied, so he asked: "What I want to know is, what's going on in the Bai Mansion?"
After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Han Sixi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that this was what happened.
"There are more than a dozen service staff in Bai Mansion, and the person in charge is..."
Han Sixi introduced the situation she had mastered without any hesitation. When she was almost finished, she cautiously said, "Hero, I have told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?"
After asking this question, Han Sixi shuddered and became even more nervous, because he knew that the moment to decide his fate had arrived...
