"According to our investigation, the foreign dangerous people gathered in the old city of Shanghai this time are directly related to Prince Su Shanqi in the Qing court, and most of them were recruited by Prince Su and arranged for them to come to Shanghai, and their travel expenses to Shanghai, as well as the cost of settlement, were also provided by Prince Su. In addition, in Shandong, we have cracked three riots in which local gentry and powerful landlords were instigated or organized, and some people were planning to buy off local bandits. More than 200 kilograms, and according to our interrogation of the arrested participants, these incidents can basically be traced back to Prince Su, so we believe that Prince Su is planning and organizing a full-scale operation against us, and their main mode of action is mainly explosions and terrorist attacks. ”

"This whole incident was planned and organized by Prince Su, were there any other Manchu magnates involved?"

"So far, no other Manchu magnates have been found involved, but according to the mistresses we have in Beijing, Prince Su has very close contacts with the Japanese, and on April 6, the Japanese spy Kawashima Naniwa, who has a good relationship with Prince Su, arrived in Shanghai and lived in the Japanese consulate in Shanghai, and this person came to Beijing at the beginning of this year, and when he met with Prince Su many times, he lived in Prince Su's palace several times. ”

"The Ministry of Security is very closely monitoring Prince Su! But except that Prince Su is the biological father of Yoshiko Kawashima, a famous Japanese female spy in the old time and space, he doesn't seem to have any special behavior, didn't he find out anything wrong with him a long time ago?"

"Kawashima Yoshiko is one of the factors, so we have raised Prince Su's monitoring level by two levels, such as according to Prince Su's performance, he is not very dangerous, and we mainly monitor Kawashima Naniwa closely, because Kawashima Naniwa is one of the famous Japanese spies in the old time and space, and he is also the adoptive father and cultivator of Kawashima Yoshiko, we will focus on monitoring these Japanese spies, and Kawashima Naniwa is the highest level of monitoring. ”

"Well, that's good, because our greatest advantage is that we don't know it in hindsight, and although we can't limit ourselves to historical experience, we can't do without it. ”

In addition, according to the report of the Shanghai office, a total of 237 dangerous elements can be identified so far, living in nine inns, and a considerable number of them are from the rivers and lakes, but it was found that the suspected Japanese living in one of the inns are Japanese. ”

"What is the basis of the Japanese?"

"Our sentry had heard some of them speak Japanese, though not many, and was stopped immediately. In addition, only the dangerous people in this inn are the most organized, the discipline is the strongest, the order is forbidden, the point is not discounted, and the upper and lower ranks are the most differentiated, our secret sentry has seen it with our own eyes, and a man inadvertently said a word of Japanese, and was slapped a few times by the chief, but he did not bite a word, and still stood straight. ”

"Well, this is indeed the Japanese style, so Japan is helping Prince Su behind his back?"

"It should be like this, Prince Su left a name in history, one is to touch the light of his daughter Kawashima Yoshiko, and the other is that after the fall of the Qing court, he is one of the most determined evasors, but in addition, I have not heard of any excellent ability and ability, planning and organizing such a large-scale operation, not only requires enough courage and courage, but also requires considerable leadership and command ability, Prince Su may have enough courage, but obviously not with such ability, and with the help of Japan, it is much more reasonable. ”

"However, the opinions of our Ministry of Security are somewhat different, we believe that this whole incident is actually planned by Japan behind the scenes, and Prince Su is just a puppet of Japan, or he is being used by Japan, but Prince Su himself may not be aware of it, maybe in the eyes of Prince Su, he is doing his best for the safety of the Qing court. Because if the riots and terrorist attacks in Shandong, Shanghai and other places are successful, the biggest beneficiary is not the Qing court, and this kind of attack will not weaken our strength much, but it can contain a considerable part of our energy in a short period of time, so that we will not be able to devote all our energy to the battlefield in Liaodong, which is of course the most beneficial to Japan. ”

After listening to the speech of Shang Qisong, the minister of security, the other people who listened to his report also fell into deep thought, this was a small report meeting, a total of only six people attended, except for the reporter Shang Qisong, it was the five giants of the East China government.

The East China Government's preparations for war have been carried out in an orderly manner, but of course the preparations for war are not limited to the military, political, and economic fields, and the intelligence field is also an important battlefield.

After a long while, Qin Zheng said, "Is there any evidence to support the opinion of the Ministry of Security?"

Shang Qisong shook his head and said: "There is no conclusive evidence yet, it is all the division of the Ministry of Security's own information and information, but there is one thing that can be confirmed, that is, after entering April, Japan's surveillance of ports in Qingdao, Tianjin, Weihai, Yantai and other places has been significantly strengthened, and since it is in Qingdao and Weihai, the monitoring of ports is 24 hours a day, which is obviously Japan monitoring the movements of our fleet." However, we have not found a direct connection between the surveillance fleet and the riots and terrorist attacks against us. ”

Xia Bohai said: "Whether this riot and terrorist attack against us is related to Japan is not the most important thing, the important thing is how we should deal with it, and does the Ministry of Security have any plans?"

Shang Qisong said: "The personnel of the fleet monitoring our in the port are under our strict surveillance, and the Japanese intelligence base in Qingdao is basically under our control, and now we have not started to arrest it, just to avoid startling the snake, once we take action, we can sweep away all the Japanese intelligence bases within 24 hours." It is basically impossible to succeed in inciting a riot in Shandong Province, because our ability to control the grassroots of society is not at all comparable to that of the Qing court, so any disturbance at the grassroots level will be reacted to the level of the government in a very timely manner, and measures can be taken quickly to eliminate the riot in the bud, and after the land reform, our government has the support of the vast number of peasants, they will not respond to any riot, and the landlords and gentry have been seriously weakened, almost unable to exist as a class, and have no ability to launch a large-scale riot at all, and the local bandit forces have also been cleared by us, even if there are still a few fish that have slipped through the net, and can't make any big waves. Neither of these threats is a threat to us, and even one or two riots or terrorist attacks will not affect the overall situation. Only Shanghai is the more tricky. ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "What's so tricky, since you know the inn where the dangerous people are stationed, you should preemptively strike and immediately remove them, isn't that the end?"

Qin Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "That's so easy, the inns they live in now are all in the old city of Shanghai, and they are not on our own territory, so they can't come by our will." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "What about the old city of Shanghai, the Ministry of Security is not easy to do, so it sent troops, surrounded the inn, lined up the guns, and was afraid that they would fly into the sky? ”

Shang Qisong said: "In fact, there is no need for the army to be dispatched, as long as it is approved by the Executive Yuan, even the Ministry of Security can remove all the dangerous personnel in Shanghai." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Then what are you waiting for, isn't it over when you give the order?"

When Wang Yunpeng heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "No, no, this is really too chaotic, it will only make us quite prepared politically, and most of the good image we have established in Shanghai in the past few years will be destroyed." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "It's time to do it, what do you care about? ”

At this time, Qin Zheng said: "In addition to striking first and taking the initiative, is there any other way for the Ministry of Security?"

Shang Qisong said: "Of course there is, but then it can only be a passive defense, send more troops to the Shanghai New Area, improve the standard of internal vigilance in the new area, and strengthen patrols, inspections and arming, and strictly monitor dangerous personnel, once they have reckless actions, the Shanghai New Area can respond as soon as possible." Although the workload and difficulty of doing so are much greater, and there are certain risks, we believe that there is still a great deal of certainty that the Shanghai New Area can be defended. ”

Wang Yunpeng said: "I think this is the only way, although it is a little troublesome and has a certain risk, but it is not a problem at all politically, so it is the most desirable plan for us." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "This is too passive, because we can only wait for the opponent to attack first, if the opponent does not attack, we can't do anything, we can only be highly vigilant, but the tiger still has a nap, the vigilance is long, and there will inevitably be loopholes, after all, as long as it is a person, it is inevitable to make mistakes, in case the enemy catches our loopholes, it will be very dangerous, maybe the enemy has not launched yet, is waiting for us to make mistakes." ”

Xu Jichao said: "I don't think it takes too long, once we join the war, then there is no point in the enemy consuming it, either cancel the operation, or we can only take the risk of doing it when our defense has not yet appeared loopholes, but in that case, we can completely defend the Shanghai New Area." ”
