Chapter 658: Concession

Lu Chengzhou's car, after receiving a grenade from Fang Nansheng, was placed in the repair shop for a month and was finally usable.

Compared with before, the car is much worse in terms of power and smoothness.

This car is used to drive to work, and it is still okay, but if it is used to carry out tasks, he is really worried that it will lie on his stomach.

Early in the morning, Lu Chengzhou called Liu Lifeng's home, not only to ask him for leave, but also to tell him the news that Kikuchi Kuan was the new military police captain.

"Hiroshi Kikuchi turned out to be the head of the judicial division, right?" Liu Lifeng asked casually.

"Yes, this time he was promoted to Zhongsa, and at the same time promoted to the captain of the gendarmerie." Lu Chengzhou said.

No matter what Liu Lifeng thinks of him, he is actually still the same for Liu Lifeng, but sometimes, you need to pay attention to your strategy.

Some information, even if Lu Chengzhou really wants to provide it, Liu Lifeng may not believe it.

If you tell him inadvertently, Liu Lifeng will find it useful.

Lu Chengzhou had little contact with Kikuchi Kan before, and his most important relationship in the gendarmerie was Kawasaki Hiroshi.

Kikuchi Hirohara was the head of the judicial division, mainly responsible for the military discipline of the Japanese army.

The main duties of the gendarmerie are now to spy on progressives and to investigate and hunt down anti-Japanese activists.

These responsibilities are mainly performed by the special high school courses.

Kawasaki Hiroshi took it for granted that he was the most suitable and the only candidate for the captain of the gendarmerie.

Unexpectedly, the above made Kikuchi Kuan the captain of the gendarmerie.

In this kind of meeting, Lu Chengzhou sat in the back, found an unnoticeable corner, and quietly listened to the Japanese talk.

The Japanese are indeed very arrogant, always believing that Chinese should be enslaved, and China should be managed by Japan, so that ***** can be realized, and only then can the people Chinese have a real way out.

Kikuchi is not tall, but he is very strong, and when he speaks, his eyes are firm.

Such a person is very strict with himself, and he is also strict with others.

If he can't be strict with himself, he won't be able to do a good job as the head of the judicial division.

Kikuchi Kuan specifically mentioned the gendarmerie detachment in the British Concession, and the dispute between Japan and Britain had a great deal to do with the gendarmerie detachment.

There is nothing wrong with sending people to the gendarmerie after the gendarmerie detachment has caught them.

However, the British then took a tough attitude and arrested all the Japanese in the gendarmerie detachment such as Nozaki and Masahiro Matsumoto into the police department, which was the greatest insult to the gendarmerie.

"In the future, the gendarmerie detachment of the British Concession should not only have any power to arrest, interrogate, and detain prisoners in the British Concession, but also strengthen the strength of the gendarmerie detachment from time to time. The gendarmerie detachment had to rebuild the extra high class, and build fortifications and ammunition depots in the gendarmerie detachment so that it could withstand a British attack for four hours. Although Kikuchi's voice was not loud, his tone was very arrogant.

The British garrison in Haigu was not much, only one hundred and twenty people, that is, one company.

Even if the special high class is full, it will only be more than ten people, plus the rest of the military police detachment, at most fifty people.

Fifty people had to resist a regular company of four hours of attack, and Lu Chengzhou felt that it was unlikely.

Listening to Kikuchi's meaning, this blockade of the British concession will be long-term, and they will only back down if British interests in Haigu are damaged.

Japan must not only arrest Zheng Wenyou and others, but also make the gendarmerie detachment completely public.

At the same time, it was necessary to force Britain to make concessions, stop using fiat currency in the British Concession, and hand over all the silver deposited by the Chongqing government in China and the two major banks of Communications to Japan.

Although Lu Chengzhou did not record it, he carefully remembered every word he said to Kikuchi Kuan.

In the past, the Japanese army blockaded the British Concession at night, but now it has been changed to daytime, and barbed wire has been pulled and electricity has been connected.

This time, the Japanese army did not achieve its goal and did not give up.

At the same time, Lu Chengzhou also secretly observed Kawasaki Hiroshi's expression.

From the moment Kikuchi began to speak, Kawasaki Hiroshi's face was ugly.

After opening, Lu Chengzhou deliberately went to Kawasaki Hiroshi's office.

He knew that Hiroshi Kawasaki must have someone to tell him.

"The reason why Chen Bailu's incident is so stiff this time is that Liu Lifeng is the culprit!" Hiroshi Kawasaki said coldly.

Originally, everything was going well, and Chen Bailu and others had already arrived at the gendarmerie.

However, with the intervention of the British consulate, especially after they detained Nozaki and others, the gendarmerie retreated.

At that time, Kawasaki Hiroshi resolutely did not agree to release them, and everyone was in the gendarmerie, and it would be a shame for the gendarmerie to be released again.

However, in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, the gendarmerie eventually returned the man.

It is also because of this that Kikuchi was able to serve as the new head of the gendarmerie.

Because the previous captain has been removed from his post because of this.

"Liu Lifeng did secretly support the anti-Japanese elements." Lu Chengzhou echoed.

"So, you have to find a way to get rid of Liu Lifeng!" Hiroshi Kawasaki had a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Liu Lifeng really deserves to die!" Lu Chengzhou nodded.

"You are his intelligence agent, can you lure him out of the British Concession?" Hiroshi Kawasaki said.

"Liu Lifeng rarely leaves the concession, and even if he does, he only goes to the French concession. He is a celebrity in the concession and the deputy commissioner of the police department, so if something happens, we will ......be more passive," Lu reminded.

"As long as he doesn't die in the British Concession, what if others know that it was us?" Hiroshi Kawasaki said coldly.

Not only Liu Lifeng, but also in Tokyo, Japan also instigated the ronin to destroy the British Embassy in Japan, and warned the British ambassador in person: "If we do not make concessions, British interests in China will suffer even greater losses." If Britain cooperates with Japan, Japan will allow Britain to continue to intervene in China. ”

In addition, Wen Peishi cooperated with Japan to engage in various anti-British activities, and on July 24, 1939, the British side betrayed China's interests, recognized the status quo of Japan's invasion of China, and accepted Japan's conditions and demands, and ended the negotiations.

The British side promised that it would never interfere with the actions of the Japanese army in China without special reasons.

This also includes the actions of the Japanese army in the British Concession.

Subsequently, Japan opened its mouth widely, demanding that legal tender be banned from playing in the British Concession and that it hand over $14 million in silver deposited by the Nationalist Government in the British Concession in China and the Bank of Communications.

The British were also annoyed by Japan's advances, and they stressed that they only recognized the Nationalist Government of China as the legitimate government, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations.

Knowing this result, Lu Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

However, then came a piece of news, and Britain still agreed to hand over Zheng Wenyou and the other four to the Japanese side for handling.

After getting the news, Lu Chengzhou verified with Liu Lifeng as soon as possible.

"The Japanese are despicable and shameless, and they have exhausted their dirty means, and Zheng Wenyou and others have been abandoned." Liu Lifeng said with a sigh.

"Seat, this time Chen Bailu's incident, the Japanese have a grudge against you, don't leave the British Concession easily." Lu Chengzhou reminded.

"Is this an open threat?" Liu Lifeng slapped the table, thinking of Lu Chengzhou's true identity, could it be that he deliberately passed the word for the Japanese?
