Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Spiral of Conspiracy - The First Move
July 11, 1943. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The bustling Chinese SH is still a scene of singing and dancing, which may also have something to do with the imminent surrender of the ZQ government, and the war on Chinese soil is almost over...... Probably.
"You're the representative of the Order, Blue?"
Outside the docks, a ******** quietly appeared next to Kaga, and he whispered a question in Japanese. He was not a direct member of the Order, and had never met Kaga.
Kaga carried his suitcase and ignored the other party, and walked quickly to a roadside phone booth.
The other party reacted quickly, quickly turned his eyes around, and quickly slipped into the alley. The smell of the same kind made the agent really scared, and the radicals who had been wandering around SH lately were all deadly masters.
Kaga didn't have to wait long, and several RB expedition officers who arrived with her on the boat were walking out of the dock under a plainclothes escort.
The crowd slowly became agitated, pedestrians tripped and fell, the newsboy's shouting became louder, and a "pickpocket" snatched the purse from a broad wife. Everything is watched by Kaga, including everyone's small actions.
The plainclothes people who protected the officers also subconsciously turned their attention to the daily commotion on the streets, probably knowing that this time it was several army officers of the rank of Dazuo, so they were especially careful.
The muzzles of the guns moved one after another, and were muffled by the noise of various sounds. As Kaga walked out of the docks, he noticed someone hiding on the top floor of a building, holding a sniper rifle in front of him.
The sniper rifle opened fire first, and one of the big ones was instantly shattered in the forehead. Immediately afterward, the killers in the crowd fired at the plainclothes agents and officers who had not yet reacted, and the bullets made bloody holes in the bodies of these people. After only ten seconds, more than a dozen people fell to the ground, and the killers had already begun to scatter and retreat.
To avoid trouble, Kaga moved two steps around the back of the phone booth, not wanting to be seen as being able to resist bullets.
The remaining plainclothes agents and soldiers, regardless of the lives of Chinese civilians, fired indiscriminately around the area, killing a murder who was not very lucky, and the rest were civilians who were not armed with guns. Although Kaga didn't think that the newsboy who deliberately raised his voice just now was innocent.
"Chase! Arrest all those assassins who committed murder and live them! A captain of the gendarmerie yelled at his subordinates who were still alive, and he was lucky enough to be the tallest person on the scene who could still get up.
Kaga had been keeping an eye out for several high-ranking officers, all of whom had died under precise gunfire, all fatally wounded to the chest or head.
"Not bad, though pointless."
Kaga put down the phone number book in her hand and left the chaos as well, very satisfied with the performance given by her "students".
Kaga hadn't gone far before an inconspicuous middle-aged man walked up to him.
"Please follow me." The other party used Chinese Chinese and made gestures.
"You ......"
The man didn't say anything more, but Kaga could sense the hostility and impatience of the other man.
Following the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared, Kaga walked several streets, and finally walked into the German concession area, and the other party stood in front of a wooden door and did not walk again.
"Here."
Seeing that Kaga didn't react, the man pulled the wooden door open and pointed inside. "Please come in!"
Kaga's interest in the other party also stops at that, a middle-aged man who may have died at the hands of RB soldiers does not make Kaga think of a funny way to tease. In particular, one of her favorite "toys" is waiting for her to arrive.
Walking up the dark staircase, Kaga walked up to the second floor, and immediately a number of people approached, carefully examining Kaga before getting out of the way. Kaga could smell the smoke of gunpowder on these people, and she had seen one or two of them just now.
"Please come in, Secretary Chen is waiting for you."
Walking into the hidden room, Kaga saw at a glance the German-made sniper rifle on the table, and the "hunter" who used it, Chen Minguang, who kept her in correspondence for many years. Now the Chinese Red Party is divided into two parts, and the vast majority of the people choose to guard the base areas under their control, but the radical faction led by Chen Minguang resolutely disagrees with the surrender choice of the Kuomintang ZQ government, and is currently actively carrying out assassination operations in SH.
"γδΉ γγΆγγ§γγ (Long time no see.) οΌβ
Kaga pulled a chair and sat down, smiling at the other man. "Forget it, you still use Chinese. Just like when I first met you. β
Kaga deliberately speaks his Chinese unfamiliarly, according to the common sense of ordinary people, he has only been to a foreign country once or twice, and it is impossible to speak a foreign language very purely.
"I didn't expect you to be in SH today. Sorry, you're not hurt, are you? The operation is already underway, and I can't temporarily send someone to protect you. β
Chen Minguang put the cleaned scope back on the sniper rifle, then poured two cups of hot water, one of which was handed to Kaga. "Blue, you're still as pretty as you were back then."
"I'm fine, I've always had good luck."
That young boy has become the number one killer in China today, the general secretary of the entire Chinese Red Party in the southern region under the step-by-step inducement of Kaga.
"The Comintern has been dissolved, and although I personally do not have a good opinion of the conservative international organization, it is not good news in the present situation." After handing Kaga hot water, Chen Minguang lifted the thick curtain and made a few gestures to the people outside the window. "How's your RB side?"
"It was difficult for us to play a role in politics, and it was not surprising that the Comintern was dissolved. Still doing their part, for the sake of ...... Reduce the pain of neighboring countries. β
Kaga didn't lie, she set up many orphanages in China in the name of her father's consortium, but Kaga can still have a little human touch for children. "I know quite a few businessmen who are planning to form a team to rebuild schools in SH and Nanjing. That's all we can do. β
Chen Minguang shook his head, "We can't repay your kindness." But...... Not necessarily. β
"Why?" Kaga asked deliberately.
"We were defeated. Even if I tried my best to prevent the surrender ceremony from taking place, it would not change the fact that China was divided into many pieces and controlled by multiple regimes. Chen Minguang didn't want to hide it in front of Kaga, although he didn't admit it, Kaga was equivalent to his teacher, and any doubts Kaga would answer in his letters.
"I'm sorry, but my country has done great harm to your country."
Kaga doesn't even take the RB Empire seriously, let alone the Chinese land under her feet, and it won't affect her if it becomes a hell on earth.
"It's not your fault, it's the sinsters who started the war who need to bear the blame." Chen Minguang also hated himself, and could only use assassination and other means to fight the RB army, and he only had to surrender in exchange for the fact that he had to surrender, all he could do was to delay the date of formal surrender.
When he left Changzhou, he made bold statements, and always said to Kaga that he wanted to drive the RB invading army out of China.
"Sometimes a person, and I think, how to end this war. I killed batch after batch of RB officers, merchants, traitors, etc., but nothing changed. I am also a bloodied murderer, and the people of my country regard me as a hero. But at the same time, I am accelerating this war to become more brutal. β
"But at least you're trying to change the status quo, and you're doing something that most people can't. You are a hero of China, and that will not change. "Kaga likes to see Chen Minguang showing confusion, and he himself has walked into a dead end, and he will never see the sun." If it weren't for you and the heroes who fought bravely like you, I'm afraid you China wouldn't even be qualified to surrender, right? β
Kaga deliberately said something ugly, but what she said was the truth, and the reason why the war could be stopped was that the army headquarters felt that it would not be beneficial to continue to consume on the battlefield in China, and that it would be more valuable to transfer troops to India and other countries after seizing sufficient resources. As for China, the area controlled by the Red Party plus the ZQ government is comparable to that of the Nanking government, and it will not be able to organize a decent counteroffensive force for at least 10 years. The army cares about Southeast Asia, the navy cares about the Pacific, and no one will continue to gnaw on China's chicken ribs.
"That's right. Should I feel fulfilled or proud? "Chen Minguang did not maintain his heroic image in front of Kaga, and he is the only one who can be regarded as a friend now, and most of his inner words are only willing to be shared with Kaga." I hate myself so much! After so many years of hard work, I have not achieved any goals. If I had given five more years, I would have been able to lead the army to retake my homeland! β
[It's useless to give you another five years, Hei has already gotten rid of your Red Party's useful talents. γ
Kaga won't tell Chen Minguang the truth, because that would be too cruel, which is equivalent to telling the other party that he has been fighting for five years or is still spinning in the cage of fate.
"You must not be depressed, take advantage of the RB Empire's shift of focus to other regions and seize the opportunity to prepare for a counteroffensive. The Nanjing government is very chaotic, as long as you secretly rebel, there is still a chance to regain the country. β
Giving people hope can make people continue to run after the carrot hanging on their heads, what Kaga said is still something that cannot be realized. "Black" will not let go of China, an important resource acquisition point, so Chen Minguang has never had a chance to truly recover China after working hard all his life, and maybe Kaga will consider letting Chen Minguang take down a few towns when he sees the other party in the future.
"Thank you for your encouragement, I will take your teachings to heart." Chen Minguang walked out with Kaga, and his subordinates outside consciously lined up to keep a certain distance.
"I almost forgot to ask, didn't your organization arrange a contact for you? It's too embarrassing to have a person come to SH to inspect the construction of the orphanage and the charity school. Chen Minguang did not know the Far Eastern Comintern branch behind Kaga, and always thought that Kaga was a member of the RB Communist Organization.
Kaga was relieved that she had come to China to witness the surrender ceremony, and she could do whatever she wanted in SH before the ceremony began.
