This is a Japanese-style Japanese-style room about 3 meters wide and 6 meters long, more than 20 square meters, the walls on all four sides are wooden lattice shaped shuttle doors, except for one side of the door, there are 3 small houses on the left and right sides, and on the opposite side of the door, is a large single room.

At this time, the outer house was empty, and there were people in 5 of the 6 rooms on the left and right and the large single room in the middle, but the shuttle door was closed, and only the figures were reflected on the Mengge paper, and the whole house revealed a mysterious atmosphere.

The man in the middle room: "Everyone, you have all successfully lurked in Shanghai, some of you have even been lurking in Shanghai for several years, and you have a public identity, and at this time to find you here to gather, it is indeed a little difficult for you, and it may even expose your identity, but your hard work and your sacrifice are all for this moment, so I think it is necessary to let you gather at this time." And in order to keep your identities secret, in case one person is exposed, and to protect others, that's why I met in this way. ”

There was silence in the other five rooms, waiting for the next step in the middle room.

The person in the middle room then said: "I don't need to talk about the current situation, you should all know that Russia is already at the end of the crossbow, there is nothing to fear, sooner or later it will inevitably be defeated by us, and withdraw from the competition in the Far East, but now the biggest variable is the overseas Chinese, what they are planning is to wait for this opportunity for the two tigers to fight, and take the opportunity to steal the victory of Japan. ”

Someone in the second room on the left finally spoke: "Your Excellency, this is exactly the goal we are fighting for and sacrificing, we must not let overseas Chinese steal the glory of the imperial country, please give an order, what should we do now?"

The man in the middle room: "Very good, how is the situation in the Shanghai New Area now? ”

The man in the right room: "Your Excellency, frankly speaking, we have encountered a lot of trouble, and the overseas Chinese have suddenly stepped up the inspection force at the entry and exit gates, and the internal management and inspection efforts have also been significantly strengthened. However, the two caravans that had been planned to transport weapons were strictly inspected at the gates, and all previous efforts were in vain, so it was impossible to import weapons to the Shanghai New Area on a large scale for the time being. However, it is still okay to carry a small amount of weapon accessories, * and other items. ”

At this time, the person in the left room also spoke, but listening to the voice, it was obvious that it was a woman, and said: "4 days ago, an order came from Qingdao, requiring the Shanghai New Area and the Shanghai Office to jointly set up a special working group for safety and security, mainly presided over by the Shanghai Office, and implemented 3 months of strict management time, so to restore to the original management level, at least 3 months later, but as long as the special working group is not revoked, the situation will not improve much after 3 months." I guess overseas Chinese should have heard some rumors. ”

The man in the middle room said: "This is normal, overseas Chinese are far more difficult to deal with than the Qing court, and at this time, if they have not found out, it is not worth us to spend so much energy and resources to deal with them." According to Japanese sources, the Russian fleet will enter the Yellow Sea on May 10-15, which is Russia's death throes, but it will also be the beginning of overseas Chinese theft, so we only have about 10 days. It's time to act. How's that? ”

The humanity in the right room: "There is difficulty, the personnel are basically in place, but the number of weapons is seriously insufficient, if we act within 10 days, we can only use more than 30 guns, * only about 10 kilograms, if you use a little weapon accessories, * the mode of transportation, I can guarantee that within a month to make up 100 guns, * not less than 50 kilograms, so that the action can be assured." ”

Humanity in the second room from the right: "Although it is possible to carry a small number of weapons, if you carry them more often, there is still a possibility that they will be detected, so I don't think this plan is advisable." ”

The person in the third room on the right said: "Yes, I think so too, either according to Your Excellency, act within 10 days, or wait until 3 months later, to see if overseas Chinese will relax the inspection of entry and exit gates." ”

The woman in the room on the left said: "I don't think this is very likely, on the surface it may be relaxed, but secretly it may be more strict, because now it is the Shanghai Office that is responsible for the security of the Shanghai New Area, they are subordinate to the Ministry of Security, and they will never give us a chance." ”

The person in the right room seemed to smile bitterly and said, "If I knew that this would be the case, then I should have transported more things into it earlier, and it would be much easier to do." ”

The humanity in the middle room: "These meaningless words don't need to be said again, we can't wait for 3 months, we can't wait for 30 days, we must take action within 10 days, because only before the overseas Chinese participate in the war, can we contain the power of the overseas Chinese to enter the war, and even prevent the overseas Chinese from participating in the war, and for the sake of insurance, still stop importing weapons, at this time, there must be no problems, the problem of insufficient weapons, I will try my best to find a way to solve it, and even if the weapons are insufficient, I can act with a sword." The purpose of our operation this time is not to occupy the Shanghai New Area, but to sabotage, the more serious the damage to the Shanghai New Area, the better, there is no need to have any scruples, the other is to kill as many overseas Chinese as possible, the more killed the better, only in this way can we deter the overseas Chinese, and each of you must have the determination to sacrifice yourself and complete the task. ”

The people in the other five rooms listened and said in unison, "Yes." ”

The person in the middle room said: "I have gathered you today, this is the purpose, the action time and action plan of the body, I will inform each of you and carry it out according to my instructions." And when you go back, each of you must be ready to act, and you must be able to act at any time, even tomorrow. ”

―――――――― Divider ――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

Just when the plot of a terrorist attack was rising to the Shanghai New Area, Jiang Shiwei, vice minister of security, quietly came to the Shanghai New Area and met with Liu Lantao of the Shanghai Affairs Office.

Jiang Shiwei came to the Shanghai New Area mainly to command the defense of the Shanghai New Area on the spot, because there were still about 10 days before the Russian fleet was about to enter the Yellow Sea, and the Japanese Combined Fleet had already left the port to prepare for battle, preparing to meet the Russian fleet in the Tsushima Strait. At the same time, this is also the opportunity for the East China government to enter the war, and the Ministry of Security judged that Japan is likely to launch a terrorist attack on the Shanghai New Area at this time, and once it is launched, it will inevitably be a thunderbolt, and the Shanghai Office is responsible alone, and the Ministry of Security cannot be completely assured, so it was decided to send Jiang Shiwei to the Shanghai New Area to sit in the town. Of course, the on-the-spot command, arrangement, and response plan are still the responsibility of the Shanghai office, and Jiang Shiwei's role is mainly to manage the overall situation, and to be able to make decisions on the spot, so as not to delay the time by asking for instructions.

However, Jiang Shiwei's whereabouts are completely confidential, even if it is the Shanghai office, no more than 5 people know that he is coming, and after the matter is over, Jiang Shiwei will return to Qingdao immediately and will not leave a trace in Shanghai.

After the two met, Liu Lantao also made a brief report to Jiang Shiwei on the work of the special security working group after its establishment and the general situation of the Shanghai New Area.

After listening to Liu Lantao's words, Jiang Shiwei said: "After a few days of strict inspection, how is the situation?

Liu Lantao said: "We have arrested a total of 87 suspicious people so far, are interrogating and verifying, and have also seized 8 enterprise factories and shops, and monitored 11 shops. However, judging from the current interrogation situation, the vast majority of people should be incomplete documents or holding false certificates, not personnel of hostile forces, and the factories and shops that have been sealed and monitored are also incomplete in formalities and suspected of illegal transactions, but they should have nothing to do with the terrorist attack on the Shanghai New Area. ”

Jiang Shiwei nodded, pondered for a while, and then said: "So there are many problems in the management of Shanghai New Area?"

Liu Lantao said: "Yes, compared with Shandong, the management of Shanghai New Area is indeed much looser, there are a lot of loopholes, of course, from the overall point of view, it is good, of course it is much stronger than the Qing court, even in the era before we crossed, it is also good, but Bi Jing has loopholes, if it is in the era of peace, of course, there will not be too many problems, and these problems are not under the control of our Ministry of Security, they are the affairs of the inspection, public security, taxation departments, but in the current extraordinary period, it will become a security loophole." ”

Jiang Shiwei smiled and said, "The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, which is inevitable." You can tell me what the problem is. ”

Liu Lantao said: " According to our statistics, a total of 103 exemption certificates were issued, and there are only more than 800 enterprises in the entire Shanghai New Area, which is too high, and the standard for issuing the exemption certificate is that the business time is longer, the business reputation is better, or the government focuses on supporting, but we inspect, most of the enterprises do not meet this standard, for example, Ma Ruicheng, although he is a larger investor in the Shanghai New District, but the factory he invested in is still under construction, and there are only two shops selling wine, no matter from that point, they do not meet the standards of the exemption certificate, but they also issued the exemption certificate。 There are also a small number of customs officers who have perfunctory malfeasance during the inspection, and we have found that there is smuggling in the customs during the inspection, of course, we have not caught any empirical evidence at present, so we cannot be sure. ”
