They understood that what they discovered had aroused Mr. Sato's alarm!
Now, they can only wait! Wait for Mr. Sato to come back before making a decision.

At this time, Mr. Sato and Takahashi, as well as Ambassador Shigeru Kawagata, Mr. Doihara and Minister Fujii, were all sitting in the confidential conference room of the Japanese military headquarters.
Mr. Sato introduced the situation reported by Kawakami and said: "This is such a situation now. What should we do?"
Takahashi said: "It seems that everyone around Mr. Wang has received attention."
Shigeru Kawago said: "If something goes wrong with these people, Mr. Takahashi's 'Barrel Plan' should be scrapped!"
Minister Fujii immediately said: "Let that Wang leave Chongqing as soon as possible! Pull him out! Form another government! Didn't you say that Wang has a high prestige? There are many people in the government and the army.
People support him! As soon as Wang leaves, they should all support him! Won’t the ‘bucket’ of the Nationalist Government fall apart! Takahashi-kun, isn’t that what your plan does! Isn’t it!”
Takahashi didn't speak for a moment. After all, Fujii is the director of the Naval Intelligence Department. This is one thing. Secondly, Fujii's understanding of the "Barrel Plan" is different from his original intention! Therefore, it is not easy for him to refute him! He has no choice but to
not talking!
Ambassador Chuanyue said: "That's roughly what it means. I think it can work! What do you think?"
Mr. Sato's inner thoughts were somewhat similar to Takahashi's, and he was reluctant to speak. He had no choice but to look back at Doihara.
The fat Doihara is like a Maitreya Buddha, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and only his small eyes are shining with keen light!
He said: "I agree, let Wang's people come as soon as possible! As long as they come, it will be beneficial to us! Right?"
Others have heard what he meant. As long as a good result can be negotiated, it will be beneficial to the Japanese Empire! As for the final result, it is secondary!
Minister Fujii turned to Mr. Sato with some pride and said, "Ah, you, go back as soon as possible. This is very good, and urge them to come as soon as possible! As long as they come, we can negotiate a good result! That's it, everyone should agree!
"
As a result, it becomes even more difficult for Mr. Sato and Takahashi to talk.
Mr. Sato squinted his eyes and squinted at Minister Fujii, feeling angry in his heart!
He couldn't stand this minister, not just for a day or two! It had been several years!
He once planned several important intelligence operations, but all failed because the minister was so happy with his success and raised his demands arbitrarily! In the final analysis, the reason why the minister was able to climb to such a high position was actually because of his intelligence officers like Sato and Kawakami.
Achieved through hard work and continuous achievements!
Mr. Sato thought countless times that he was working so hard just to marry this minister! But there was nothing he could do about it!
He had to painfully think that he had to rush back to Chongqing as soon as possible to continue working on the "Barrel Project"! Continuing to marry this minister! What a jerk!

At nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Zifeng went to the Investigation Division to report the surveillance situation to Chief Gong.
Xiao Ancheng was worried and waited for him outside the garrison headquarters. If there was any unexpected situation, they should discuss it as soon as possible!
Chen Zifeng's report was extremely simple. It was just a little bit of information they summarized last night.
To be honest, these surveillance results and situations can’t explain anything! It’s normal for Zhou Fohai and Chen Gongbo to meet Chairman Wang! It’s also normal for other people to meet up for a meal or tea after get off work. thing!
What surprised Chen Zifeng was Chief Gong's expression! It was an angry expression!
Ever since Chen Zifeng started reporting, he had been looking at some document in front of him. He held a pencil in his hand and kept crossing over the text, as if he was afraid that he would read the wrong line. He kept listening like this, with a strange look on his face.
No expression at all.
After Chen Zifeng finished his report, he was still looking at the unfortunate document in front of him! I wonder if he listened to it!
After three full minutes, he seemed to realize that Chen Zifeng had finished his report, and then he said: "What else is there?"
Chen Zifeng controlled his voice and tried to say calmly: "Sir, just staring like this may not produce any results. I will consider if I apply for a few sets of bugs..."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Commander Gong waved to him and said casually: "What kind of equipment or weapons, you can discuss it with the equipment department of the headquarters to see if they have it."
Chen Zifeng had no choice but to restrain his anger and whispered: "Yes, sir, I will discuss it with the equipment department."
He saw that Chief Gong was still looking at the unfortunate document, and a ball of anger was about to burst out in his heart!
He said: "Sir, I have finished my report."
But Chief Gong said, "Okay, go ahead."
Full of anger, Chen Zifeng stood up slowly, turned around and walked towards the door. When he reached the door, he was still a little unwilling! Did this guy hear his report clearly? What's so good about such a broken document!
He opened the door, closed it gently, and turned around and said, "Sir, I also want to apply for some funds!"
Chief Gong looked up at him and asked, "How much?"
Chen Zifeng gritted his teeth and said calmly: "Five hundred yuan!"
Damn it, I want this much! Let’s see what you do! He thought viciously in his heart!
Chief Gong looked around, took out a piece of paper, put it on the table, and said casually: "Write an application."
Like a wolf, Chen Zifeng returned to the table viciously and sat down with gritted teeth.
He took out a pen from his pocket and wrote on the paper: "Deputy Chief Gong has confirmed that I would like to apply for activity funds..." After writing this, he raised his head and said through his teeth: "Sir, I can apply for six
One hundred yuan, be more relaxed!"
Unexpectedly again, Chief Gong still looked at the unfortunate document, waved his hand and said, "You can write eight hundred yuan! This is my maximum approval authority! Write it, write it!" He seemed very impatient.
At this time, Chen Zifeng was not polite, and then wrote: "I hereby apply for an activity fund of 800 yuan. Investigate the Gendarmerie, Chen Zifeng." After that, he pushed the piece of paper in front of Chief Gong.
Commander Gong barely looked at it carefully, grabbed the pen, signed it, and pushed it back.
Chen Zifeng picked up the piece of paper, stood up and saluted, turned around and left the office without saying anything.
It was only then that Gong Binsheng raised his head and stared at the door sternly.
The door to the back room opened silently, and a calm man stood inside the door, looking at him calmly.
Gong Binsheng pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down." After that, he stared at that person with a stern look.
"Did you hear everything clearly?" Gong Binsheng asked in a low voice.
"Yes, sir, you heard me clearly." The man nodded and replied in the same low voice.
"They are staring at those people! You, stare at them! You should also pay attention to those people!"
"Yes, sir, no problem. However, I only have seven people, so it's still a little short."
"I have spent a lot of effort to carefully select the seven of you! I trust you!"
"Yes, sir, I understand. Then, I'm leaving." He stood up, saluted, and turned around and left the office.

The man who came out of Gong Binsheng's office was named He Wei, the former head of the Intelligence Section of the Nanjing District of the Secret Service, with the rank of major.
In December last year, Nanjing fell. All agents in the Nanjing District of the Secret Service were ordered to lurk and implement a "dual-line deployment."
The so-called "dual-line deployment" means that District Chief Qian Xinmin will lead some personnel to sneak out of Nanjing separately, and finally converge in Guabu Town, Liuhe County. This part is the "outer line". Deputy District Chief Shang Zhensheng will lead a small number of personnel to lurk.
In Nanjing, this part is the "inside line." After settling down, the outside line and the inside line cooperate to continue intelligence work.
He Wei was one of the outsiders. His escape route was to go out of Sanminmen to Xiaguan Coal Port, then cross the river by boat to Wuyi Town, then take a detour to Guabu Town to meet up with Qian Xinmin.
On December 12, the city of Nanjing was already in chaos, with artillery fire everywhere and smoke and dust filling the air. Everyone was running for their lives! In some places, Japanese troops had already rushed into the city! The sound of gunfire from far and near could be heard incessantly!
Why should we find a way to get out of Nanjing on our own?
He finally arrived at Sanminmen, only to find that there was a sea of people there, so crowded that no one could move!
He later learned that Song Xilian's 36th Division withdrew from Sanminmen! But for some unknown reason, after Song Xilian left the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed! And piled up a lot of debris in the city gate!
There were so many people who wanted to leave the city that they crowded in front of the city gate and even squeezed the city gate open just enough to allow one person to pass through!
Relying on his youth and strength, He Wei finally squeezed to the door and left the city through the crack in the door!
However, he didn’t know until he arrived at Coal Port! Not only did he know! He saw it with his own eyes! There was a huge fire on the other side of the river!
It was only later that I learned that after Song Xilian crossed the river, I still don’t know what he had in mind, but he actually ordered all the ships to be burned down! There were so many national soldiers and countless civilians standing by the Coal Port River, looking at the fire on the other side of the river.
It’s really hard to cry without tears!
Although He Wei left the city, he could not cross the river. He was also afraid of being caught by the Japanese troops everywhere, so he could only hide in the suburbs of the city and look for a way to escape!

On the evening of the next day, He Wei found a group of stragglers in a reed bush. There were more than a hundred soldiers in total!
These dispersed national soldiers hid in the reeds and had not eaten for two days. They could only dig reed buds from the lake to satisfy their hunger. They argued over and over again, not knowing what to do next!
The current situation is that no matter whether they are caught by the Japanese army or not, they are destined to die!
He Wei was a major and the commander among this group of stragglers. He selected a few leading veterans to hold a meeting. After discussion, they decided to go out of the lake at night, hoping to get through the Japanese blockade!?
