Chapter 30: The Man Behind the Scenes
The enthusiastic citizen who gave the reporter a message was naturally Tang Cheng, and the special high-tech wanted to control the news, where would Tang Cheng let the special high-tech succeed, and he wanted to make things bigger, so he left his residence early in the morning, found a public telephone, and called the newspaper offices in the concession one by one. The Zodiac Society is quite famous in Shanghai, and since the Zodiac Society, many newspapers in the concession have reported on the dirty things of the Zodiac Society.
Knowing that the people of the Zodiac Society were almost killed in the New Asia Hotel, the large and small newspapers in the concession immediately sent people to the New Asia Hotel and the Army Hospital, so there was this chaotic scene this morning. "Hans, I just got the news that the New Asia Hotel was attacked last night, and I heard that many people from the Zodiac Society died." Hans, who received Tang Cheng's call, immediately woke up from his sleepy state, originally he was still very tired of Tang Cheng's early morning disturbing people's dreams, but now, his boredom immediately disappeared.
"You say it again? What happened to the zodiac last night? "Hans is an intelligence officer, how could he not know the name of the Zodiac Society, and suddenly learned from Tang Cheng that the headquarters of the Zodiac Society was attacked last night at the New Asia Hotel, Hans was shocked, but he also couldn't believe Tang Cheng's words. Tang Cheng in the public phone booth was secretly laughing at the moment, and he took the initiative to call Hans to inform him of this, just to confuse Hans's speculation after the fact.
"What I just said is true, the reporters of the major newspapers in the concession are going crazy, and several reporters I know went to the army hospital early in the morning, and I heard that the bodies of those people of the Zodiac Society were temporarily stored in the army hospital. No, it's a pity, there is no way for my face to enter Hongkou District, otherwise I must go to the New Asia Hotel to have a look..."Before Tang Cheng's words were finished, a series of blind tones came from the other end of the phone, obviously Hans on the other end of the phone had hung up the phone.
Tang Cheng's last sentence was a reminder to Hans, who hung up the phone in a hurry, and immediately called his men, and a quarter of an hour later, two foreign men disguised as reporters appeared in front of the gate in Hongkou District, and they would enter Hongkou District according to Hans's orders, and go to the New Asia Hotel to confirm whether there had been an attack last night. The attack on the New Asia Hotel was naturally real, and Hans had just had breakfast when the confirmation phone had already been called, and on the phone, two of Hans's men gave as much detail as they had found out.
"Boss, the news is indeed true, the New Asia Hotel has been surrounded and blocked by the Japanese military police. We followed your instructions to Mr. Haruta, and through him we were able to contact a gendarmerie soldier who had been on guard duty at the perimeter last night. According to him, the New Asia Hotel was indeed attacked last night, and in addition to the two teams of the Zodiac who had a mission to go out last night, all the members of the Zodiac in the hotel were killed, totaling more than 70 people. At present, this case has been handed over to the military police command and the special high-tech department to deal with together, in short, the Japanese side is very annoyed. ”
After listening to the reports of his subordinates, Hans fell into deep thought, there were many factors that were unfavorable to the Japanese in Shanghai, the first was the resistance of the Chinese, then the Korean Restoration Army, and the other was the foreign forces that wanted to profit from the fishermen, and Germany was also one of them. However, when he stormed the New Asia Hotel in the Japanese-controlled area to create an attack, Hans asked himself if he didn't have this kind of strength, and after pondering carefully, Hans found in despair that he couldn't think of any force that had anything to do with it.
Could it be that the incident of New Asia Hotel is the result of the Japanese writing and acting? In desperation, Hans, who had a big brain, actually rose up in his mind with a strange idea. The Zodiac Society was originally a traitor spy organization supported by the Japanese army in order to control the whole of Shanghai and expand its influence into the concession. However, since the establishment of the Zodiac Society, its reputation has not been very good, and kidnapping and extortion often occur, and Hans would not be surprised if the Japanese blamed the Chinese Resistance for the attack on the Zodiac Society.
Killing more than 70 people in the Japanese-controlled area at one time, and being able to return with his whole body afterwards, Hans did not consider the individual when speculating on the initiator, but put the direction of speculation in the direction of power, because he believed that the affairs of the New Asia Hotel were definitely not something that could be done by individuals. Just when Hans was secretly thinking about which force was responsible for the attack on the New Asia Hotel, Tang Cheng had already left the public phone booth and rushed to the tea house to meet with Boss Yu.
Tang Cheng not only shot dozens of members of the Zodiac Society at the New Asia Hotel last night, but also killed Chang Yuqing, the president of the Zodiac Society, which can be regarded as exceeding the order issued by the headquarters of the Intelligence Department. Therefore, whether it is out of public or selfish intentions, Tang Cheng has to meet with Boss Yu at this time, because next, Tang Cheng needs Boss Yu's help.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect that your movements would be so fast!" Still in the warehouse of the tea house, Boss Yu looked happy at the moment, and he unconsciously danced when he spoke. A half-old man, he can be happy like this, Tang Cheng doesn't know how to deal with this scene at the moment. "Tell me about the New Asia Hotel, how did you do it!" After a while, the excited Boss Yu was quiet.
In the face of such a lurking agent who has been lurking in obscurity for many years, Tang Chao naturally has no reason to refuse, and deliberately blocks out some unspeakable content, Tang Cheng told Boss Yu about what happened in the New Asia Hotel last night. Knowing that Tang Cheng didn't have any helpers, he just broke into the New Asia Hotel alone, and Boss Yu was still sweating in his heart even in the face of this unscathed Tang Cheng.
"You're too careless... New Asia Hotel... I haven't been there, but I know how dangerous it is to get there! I know you're very good, but you can't venture alone! "Listening to Tang Cheng say that in last night's operation, when there were two accidents in a row, Boss Yu couldn't help but teach Tang Cheng a lesson again." The zodiac will kill those scum, but you also have to pay attention to your own safety. Only by ensuring your own safety can you play a greater role, and the assassination of Ono is the best proof of this. ”
Although Boss Yu's words sounded harsh, Tang Cheng also heard the meaning of concern from these words, so he was not annoyed by this, but took out a cigarette and handed it to the other party. "You are a senior, I listen to you!" Tang Cheng lit a cigarette for Boss Yu, and then grinned heartlessly with a mouthful of big white teeth. "I killed at least sixty or seventy people of the Zodiac Society last night, and the rest of the people are no longer in the climate, if the headquarters feels that it is necessary, I can kill all the remaining people of the Zodiac Society."
"You've already killed Chang Yuqing, and what is left of the Zodiac Society is just useless minions. I guess the headquarters side will not be happy to continue to ask you to take this risk and exchange a general for some small minions, which is too cost-effective! "Tang Cheng brought up the matter of the Zodiac again, and Boss Yu's mood changed again." You don't care about this, I'll report to the headquarters, and I believe they shouldn't make such low-level mistakes. ”
When Tang Cheng said this, he didn't actually want to evade responsibility, but wanted to gain time and start to rescue the lone army camp. "Uncle Yu, let me tell you something, I revealed the matter of the New Asia Hotel to many newspapers in the concession early in the morning, and I also took photos at the scene last night, you said that if I sell these photos to these newspapers, will things be very troublesome?" Boss Yu's mood only dropped slightly, and he was hit by Tang Cheng's words again.
"What? You said you also took a picture on the spot last night? Is there a photo of Sanyu Qing's head? Boss Yu, who was overjoyed, blushed and grabbed Tang Cheng's left arm, and he was already a little incoherent under the joy. He was already in ecstasy, deliberately ignoring the fact that Tang Cheng had revealed the news to the newspaper, and now he only wanted to know if there was a photo of Chang Yuqing in the photo taken by Tang Cheng in the New Asia Hotel last night, because the existence of this photo is related to whether he and Tang Cheng will be awarded a credit for this matter.
"Sanyuqing's? Yes! And I took more than one! Tang Cheng is still not fully aware of the role of those photos last night, originally he just planned to use these photos and those newspapers in the concession to create some trouble for the Japanese army to divert the attention of Tegaoke. After listening to Boss Yu's explanation, Tang Cheng realized that he dared to love that his photos still had this effect, but he didn't care about the awards and merits given by the Intelligence Department.
The basement of Tang Cheng's residence is the best place to develop photos, but the trouble is that Tang Cheng can't develop photos, and he doesn't want to be known about the New Asia Hotel. "You can give me the film, I'll find someone to do it!" After listening to Tang Cheng's explanation, Boss Yu immediately gave advice, even if he avoided Shanghai Station and Tegaoke, he could find someone to develop the film.
"Uncle, I've almost planned that incident, you should hurry up here, I want to meet those people as soon as possible, and the time for action is almost here." Handing over the film to Boss Yu, Tang Cheng was not reluctant at all, but he came over today not for these films, but to remind Boss Yu to speed up contacting the people in the condolence group, because it was not a few days since Tang Cheng had always remembered that point in time.
The Japanese siege of Nanjing is a foregone conclusion, according to the virtues of the people ** those bigwigs in power, when they find that they cannot withstand the Japanese offensive, they will definitely choose to preserve their strength and abandon Nanjing. When they invaded Nanjing, the Japanese would definitely hold a celebration, and even the Japanese army in Shanghai would definitely have a celebration action. And Tang Cheng wanted to take advantage of the shift in the attention of the Japanese army in Shanghai to carry out the operation of rescuing the lone army camp, because at this time, the resistance to the operation was the least.
