Soon, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, the Central Party Headquarters, the Central Military Police Headquarters, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission, the Anti-Japanese War Donation Coordinating Committee, etc., etc., all sent people.
After that, those who walked in and out of Chief Luo's office were the director of the Provincial Department of Finance, the financial director of the Hunan Provincial Bank, the director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, the chairman of the Municipal Construction Committee, and the president of the Hunan Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, there is the Changsha Battlefield Relief Association, the Disabled Soldiers Donation Association, and the Women's National Salvation Support Anti-Japanese War Committee.
Even the Changsha City Appearance and Sanitation Rectification Committee, New Changsha Construction Association, etc. also came!
For these 300,000 taels of silver, these people quarreled with each other in Chief Luo's office, yelling, glaring at each other, blushing and thick-necked, and almost started to fight each other!
Gong Binsheng and others who were sitting in the war zone guest house studying the Nanchang action plan also heard about these things. They all looked strange and looked at each other with disdain and concern.
Although they didn't say anything, they felt contempt and helplessness in their hearts. They sighed and could only shake their heads again and again, and stopped asking!
No matter who you are, it is best to stay away from this kind of struggle for power! This is what Gong Binsheng thinks!

Shanghai, International Hotel.
A few days ago, Mr. Sato returned to Shanghai at the invitation of Takahashi and still chose to stay in the International Hotel.
In the past few days, he and Takahashi, as well as Takashi and Kawakami, had been talking with an old Japanese gentleman named Kauno Nagatomo.
In the previous volume, when talking about the strategic war of the military commanders, two channels for peace negotiations were mentioned. One is the Jiang Hao channel. He was originally a spy of the central commanders, but he was ordered to accept the command of the military commanders. There is also another channel, which is the channel named Jiang Hao.
A person from Xuan Ye Changzhi!
After listening to Captain Takahashi's private introduction, Mr. Sato realized that Mr. Nagatomo Kawano was a very complicated person. He was from Kochi Prefecture, Japan, and he was sixty-seven years old. He could really be regarded as an old gentleman.
Mr. Xuanye participated in the Tongmenghui in his early years and assisted Mr. Sun Yat-sen in his revolutionary activities. He has lived in China for a long time and is a China expert. He has extensive contacts with important figures in both the Chinese government and the public.
Last year, that is, at the end of 1939, one of Mr. Kawano's most important tasks was to work hard to promote peace negotiations between Japan and China, hoping that both sides would make concessions in order to achieve peace.
In Hong Kong, through the introduction of Lieutenant Colonel Suzuki Zhuoer of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, he met Song Ziliang, Song Ziwen's younger brother. Song Ziliang said that he also hoped for peace between China and Japan and was willing to negotiate with peace-loving people in Japan.
They hit it off immediately and soon began to discuss the various terms of Sino-Japanese peace.
Unexpectedly, a few months later, Suzuki Zhuoer told him that the so-called "Song Ziliang" was actually disguised as a military agent named Zeng Guang! Mr. Xuanye was so angry that he almost fell seriously ill!
After all, Mr. Xuanye is a China expert and has a very clear understanding of all political forces in China.
After being deceived by a military spy, Mr. Xuanye's thinking changed drastically!
What he is now introducing to Mr. Sato is the new plan he has been diligently pursuing: "Dividing the Kuomintang and the Communist Party"!
Mr. Sato was surprised. He had no idea that such a scholarly old man could come up with such a profound strategic idea! According to Mr. Sato’s observation, Kauno Nagatomo’s idea was so big that it was unbelievable!
However, if it succeeds, it will be a huge deal!
27-18
In the evening, Mr. Sato sat quietly in his room, thinking about the big plan proposed by Mr. Kauno Nagatomo.
At this time, Captain Takahashi hurried into the room, looking a little uneasy.
Mr. Sato looked at him but remained calm.
Captain Takahashi hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Mr. Sato, I just got a piece of information from Chongqing, saying that military commanders in Changsha may have taken major actions recently! This statement reminds me of what Yoshino mentioned the day before yesterday! Gong Binsheng
Arrived in Changsha! He has been holding a meeting in the guest house of the Ninth War Zone Headquarters for the past two days, and everyone is attending the meeting! They seem to be plotting some action!"
Mr. Sato asked: "What was the conspiracy? Was it mentioned in the intelligence?"
Takahashi shook his head, "The information is not clear. But it mentioned a location, which seems to be related to the Central Bank!"
"Chongqing's central bank? What does it have to do with Changsha?" Mr. Sato asked unexpectedly.
"Sir, you may not have thought that Nanchang, which is very close to Changsha, once had a central bank!"
"You said once. So, who uses it now?"
"Now it is used by the Japanese Military Police in Nanchang!" Mr. Takahashi stared at him calmly.
Mr. Sato vaguely noticed that there seemed to be some secret hidden in the few words Takahashi said! He said nothing, just stared at him, waiting for Captain Takahashi to give him an explanation.
Sure enough, Captain Takahashi lowered his voice, "Behind this military police unit, there is a printing factory we just built! Section Chief Aso presided over the construction! Now, you understand!"
Mr. Sato nodded, indicating that he understood! It was a factory that printed counterfeit money!
Takahashi continued: "I hope to continue to cooperate with you, because of Mr. Kawano's plan, I must cooperate with you! I suggest that Takashi and Kawakami go to Nanchang. Ask them to take a look and do some reconnaissance.
, see if there is any room for them to cause damage! This factory is very big! There are also a lot of goods in the warehouse! We must not suffer losses!"
Mr. Sato nodded again, then turned back and made a gesture to Kawakami.
Kawakami immediately stood up and followed Captain Takahashi out.

On June 12, the team organized by Gong Binsheng to attack Nanchang began to set off.
The first one to set off was Xiao Ancheng's group. In addition to him, there were two ladies, Qiao Yanfang and Jiang Yufeng. Following them were Li San and two brothers.
The most surprising thing is that Xiaoyan, like three wandering children, followed at a distance with Xiao Chai and Stone.
They are also the most flamboyant. Xiao Ancheng has a radio station in his suitcase and is wearing a neat suit, as if he is a businessman going out to do business. Although Qiao Yanfang and Jiang Yufeng are not dressed too ostentatiously, they are also beautiful and elegant, as if they are the daughters of a wealthy family.
.
Li San and his two brothers should be far behind them, but they are not far away at this time.
These people stood in front of the guest house of the theater headquarters, greeting people they knew from time to time, saying that they were going out on official business, etc. Anyone who knew their identities could tell at a glance that they were out on a mission!
Those who saw this included Yoshino! But he couldn't guess where they were going! He could only order his men to monitor them closely!
Soon, a truck stopped in front of the guest house. Xiao Ancheng and others got on the truck, and the truck drove towards Shijiagang.
When they arrived at Shijiagang, Xiaoyan and the two children were already at the dock, waiting to board the ship.
Yoshino's men quietly observed that the tickets they bought were for Yueyang. While they were waiting for the ship, this man hurriedly called Yoshino and told them that those people were going to Yueyang.
Yoshino also became confused and couldn't guess what those people were doing in Yueyang.
He is the team leader of the agents who are now staying in Changsha. But there is no senior executive around him, making it difficult for him to make a correct decision. There is also a small detail, Jiang Yufeng is also among these people, which makes him hesitate.
He really wanted to follow, but he didn't dare. He really missed Jiang Yufeng in his heart.
His final decision was to instruct his subordinate to follow Yueyang, observe carefully, and call back if anything happens!
As soon as Xiao Ancheng and the others got on the boat, they leaned on the side of the boat, looked at the clear water of the Xiangjiang River, and admired the picturesque scenery on both sides of the Xiangjiang River. They laughed and chatted, which was very pleasant.
Such a situation made Yoshino's men very confused. They didn't seem to be on any fatal mission! They were simply traveling!
27-20
On the other side of the road this morning were Han Dan and Shen Yimei.
Their route was to first take a bus from Xiaowumen Long-distance Bus Station to Zhuzhou, then transfer to the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to Yichun, and then take a small passenger ferry to Nanchang.
Han Dan's mission is very simple, that is, she must first go to Hanjiacun's settlement and make good arrangements with her old uncle.
Shen Yimei had made contact with the communist guerrillas two days ago. She went there today to lead Zhang Changwu's guerrillas to hide in the mountains and forests of Qingyunpu Town, waiting to pick up the people who were evacuated.
Following them was Han Jindong, who also had two brothers.
27-21
In the afternoon, the passenger ship that Xiao Ancheng, Qiao Yanfang, Jiang Yufeng and others took arrived in Yueyang and easily disembarked with the passengers.
Yoshino's men watched closely, wanting to see where they were going!
But he watched until the end and discovered that they bought tickets to Yichang! What's going on, these three people are going to Yichang, and even to Chongqing! If they go west, it has nothing to do with the mission in Changsha.
!
This subordinate did not dare to delay and hurriedly called Yoshino.
Yoshino and this subordinate have exactly the same idea. If these three people go west, there is no need for them to follow!
He thought for a while and asked: "Which dock are they at?"
The subordinate replied: "They are at Baling Wharf, which is the wharf going to Yichang. If they want to be at Jiuhuashan Wharf, it is hard to say. They can go east or west. But Baling Wharf is going to the west."
Yoshino also understood this difference, so he said, "Just keep watching for a while and then come back."
However, Yoshino's subordinate only watched for half an hour before he could no longer watch because the passenger ship back to Changsha was about to leave! He hurriedly left Baling Pier and caught up with the ship back to Changsha.
27-22
About ten minutes later, Xiao Ancheng and others quietly left Baling Pier, walked a short distance north, and entered Jiuhuashan Pier. When he passed by Li San, Li San quietly handed him three
Ferry ticket.
The three of Xiao Ancheng walked away in a hurry, and finally boarded the passenger ship to Wuhan before it sailed!
