Chapter 35: New Goals

deliberately tanned himself, and deliberately kept a short beard, Zhuo Fei and the portraits issued by the special high school are no longer similar at all, plus Zhuo Fei and the two are not on the road alone, so the Japanese puppet army who checked along the road has never been able to recognize Zhuo Fei and the two. Zhuo Fei and the two passed through Hefei and Bengbu without danger, and then went north from Hangzhou to Shanghai, but after entering Shanghai, Zhuo Fei's face did not show relaxation, but seemed more preoccupied.

Shanghai has long been fully controlled by the Japanese army, and the streets and alleys are full of Japan-related affairs, advertising paintings of Japanese products, swaggering Japanese soldiers and ronins, and Zhuo Fei even saw **** children using wooden sticks to imitate Japanese kendo battles. Zhuo Fei held back the anger in his heart, and tried to turn his head away from looking at those things, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it, so he pulled out a gun and shot those Japanese in the street.

The hotel where Zhuo Fei and the others stayed was in the French Concession, which was safer than the chaotic urban area. Zhuo Fei did not immediately contact the military commander's intelligence point in Shanghai, but first asked the waiter in the hotel to buy a lot of English newspapers for him, compared to the Mandarin newspapers, which were controlled by the Japanese army, the content of the English newspapers' views was much more realistic. The British troops stationed in Burma had closed the Yunnan-Burma Highway on the orders of the British government, and the activities of the Umbrella Company in Burma had been greatly disrupted, but fortunately, the transfer of Jews was still ongoing.

The British government could order the garrison to block the Burma road at the request of the Japanese, but they could not prevent the Jewish refugees who had left Europe from landing in Burma, and if the British government also showed hostility to the Jews, then the British would lose support from the United States. The Japanese spent a lot of time and energy lobbying the British government, but the actual effect was not very good, in order to completely block the Yunnan-Burma road, the Japanese could only use force to invade Burma, and Zhuo Fei has been waiting for the Japanese army to enter Burma.

Every refugee ship that entered Yangon Harbor was carrying war materials, and the British troops stationed in Burma knew about it, and the Japanese who were concerned about the Yunnan-Burma Highway also knew about it, and Zhuo Fei wanted to use this means to provoke the nerves of the Japanese and force them to send troops to invade Burma, only in this way could the umbrella company have the opportunity and excuse to enter Burma in an all-round way. Zhuo Fei didn't pay much attention to whether the news in the newspaper was true or false, and his attention was all focused on the newspaper report that the Japanese mainland would send a special envoy to Shanghai in the near future.

Nishio Shou was killed in pieces, this is already an almost open secret in the top echelons of the Japanese army, the dispatch army cannot do without a commander, and the Japanese mainland is not optimistic about the current senior officers of the dispatch army, so in the near future a special envoy will be sent from the base camp to China to serve as the commander of the dispatch army. "Then come, just in time for another big gift for you." Zhuo Fei was still determined to kill this Japanese envoy in Shanghai, and Zhuo Fei wanted to stimulate the Japanese army more.

After studying the various facilities of the Japanese army in Shanghai, Zhuo Fei judged that this special envoy from the Japanese mainland must have come to Shanghai by plane, but Hongqiao Airport was very well guarded by the Japanese army, and it may have been affected by the attacks on Wuhan and Nanjing airports, and there were no buildings above the ground within 5 kilometers of Hongqiao Airport. In such a situation, even if Zhuo Fei had a heavy mortar, there was no way to successfully guarantee that he would be able to destroy the entire Hongqiao Airport.

The airport is not good, Zhuo Fei set his eyes on the facilities of the Japanese army in the city, the envoy will definitely stay for a short time when he comes to Shanghai, then he must have a place to live. Zhuo Fei carefully counted all the hotels in Shanghai, and finally believed that no matter what hotel the Japanese envoy stayed in, he would definitely hold a grand event in the New Asia Theater in the Japanese Concession according to the usual practice. However, Zhuo Fei did not regard the New Asia Theater as the place where the operation began, but the location he locked was the street near the New Asia Theater.

No matter which direction the envoy goes from to the New Asia Theater, he will have to pass through the street corner chosen by Zhuo Fei, and as long as Zhuo Fei occupies a high point, he can send the envoy's convoy to hell with only a heavy machine gun. In order to achieve this goal, Zhuo Fei even disguised himself as a Japanese and entered the Japanese concession many times to conduct on-the-spot reconnaissance, and finally determined the best location, and now, he is just waiting for the Japanese envoy to arrive in Shanghai.

The assassination of the envoy sent by the Japanese mainland was only Zhuo Fei's temporary idea, and Chongqing did not know about it at all, and Zhuo Fei had not contacted the military commander's intelligence point in Shanghai, and Chongqing had always thought that Zhuo Fei and the two had continued to go north. A week passed quickly, and finally, Zhuo Fei waited for the news he wanted, the Japanese envoy had arrived in Shanghai, and this envoy was none other than Prince Hatohiko of the Japanese imperial family, who had served as the commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army.

Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya succeeded Matsui Ishine as commander of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and during the Battle of Nanjing, he issued an order to "kill all the captured personnel", and was the main culprit in the tragedy of the Nanjing Massacre. Nishio Shouzo was killed in an attack outside Xuzhou City, and after high-level discussions in Japan, Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya, who had been transferred to the Japanese mainland, was re-introduced, and Prince Hatohiko Asakanomiya, who had been out of the mountain for the second time, was appointed as the commander of the Chinese dispatch army.

Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya came to China this time, which can be said to be full of confidence, and the arrogance of being a royal family also made him want to achieve something great, and China has obviously become a place for Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya to prove his ability. Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya came to Shanghai, and it was reported in major newspapers in Shanghai, and even the name of the hotel where Prince Hatohiko stayed was published. Zhuo Fei also went to the hotel to inquire about the news, but was blocked outside the hotel by the tightly guarded Japanese soldiers, and no one could enter or leave the hotel without a pass issued by the Shanghai Japanese Army Headquarters.

Of course, Zhuo Fei is not without other ways, the high-end car with the royal insignia parked outside the hotel has already been installed by Zhuo Fei, as long as Prince Hatohiko of Chaoxiang Palace leaves the hotel in this car, Zhuo Fei can know immediately. After making such preparations, Zhuo Fei directly disguised himself as a Japanese and lived in a hotel in the Japanese concession, and on the third floor of this hotel, Zhuo Fei only had to open the window to see the street corner he had chosen.

Zhuo Yan also wanted to enter the Japanese Concession with Zhuo Fei, but unfortunately his body shape didn't look like a Japanese at first glance, so Zhuo Yan could only stay in the French Concession according to Zhuo Fei's instructions, fortunately, there were many delicacies in the French Concession, otherwise Zhuo Yan would have been unable to stay for a long time. Prince Hatohiko of Xiangmiya, who had re-emerged from the mountain, had a very comfortable life these days, first meeting with many officers of the dispatch army in the hotel where he was staying, and then entertaining a group of traitors of all sizes to the Shanghai Municipal Government, as long as he went to the New Asia Theater in the Japanese concession to hold a friendship with the Japanese expatriates living in Shanghai, Prince Hatohiko of Shangiya was ready to leave for Nanjing to take up his post.

"Prince, this is the body armor we ordered back from the United States, although we will go to the Japanese concession in a while, but this does not mean that there will be no assassins at the scene, you had better wear this body armor." After getting the itinerary, Prince Kamiya's lieutenant began to make some arrangements, first taking out the body armor ordered from the United States and handing it to Prince Kaomiya Hatohiko to put on, and also arranging a group of tall military police to serve as Prince Kamiya's bodyguard.

"Asakusa, are you too sensitive? This is Shanghai, the Japanese Imperial Army has been controlling it for more than 2 years, let's go to the Japanese Concession, so we don't have to be so troublesome, right? Putting on the body armor brought by the adjutant, Prince Kanomiya Hatohiko, who was standing in front of the mirror, felt that this would make his military uniform look less suitable, and immediately wanted to take off the body armor he wore under the military uniform.

"Absolute not, Prince, the more seemingly safe the place, the more dangers lurk, and I can't joke with your life. If you must refuse to wear body armor, then please give me death first, as a member of the Asakusa family who has served the imperial family for 100 years, I will never allow you to come near the prince in danger. The stubborn adjutant slowly knelt down, and Prince Kanomiya Hatohiko had no choice but to put on the body armor that was said to be able to withstand rifle bullets according to the adjutant's request.

Wearing body armor in the military uniform, and a team of gendarmes around him, Prince Kaomiya's precautions have been strict to the extreme, but they didn't expect that an extremely dangerous guy had already targeted them. According to the itinerary arranged in advance, Prince Hatohiko of Shanggong first had lunch in the hotel where he was staying, and then after meeting several officers of the dispatch army, he was ready to leave the hotel and rush to the New Asia Theater in the Japanese concession.

As soon as the high-end car in which Prince Xiang Gong Hatohiko was riding, Zhuo Fei had already received the signal, and ten minutes later, the convoy of Prince Xiang Gong Hatohiko and his entourage soon appeared in the map system. When the convoy entered the Japanese concession, there were more Japanese expatriates holding high plaster flags and Japanese soldiers maintaining order along the road, while Prince Kanomiya Hatohiko in the car did not show up according to the adjutant's reminder.

The Japanese soldiers who maintained order along the road were very vigilant about the surrounding situation and possible abnormalities, and some places that might be dangerous had already been carefully searched by the military police and the special high school personnel, and they even sent people disguised as civilians to monitor the Japanese expatriates who were waving flags and shouting. The convoy slowly drove through the long street, as long as it bypassed the street in front, the convoy could go straight to the New Asia Theater, and as long as the final trip was completed, Prince Hatohiko and his party could leave Shanghai to rush to Nanjing to take up their jobs.
