Ning Zhiheng looked at Tsuda Shanghui stepping forward, and also said with a smile: "Tsuda-kun, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Your Excellency Dazuo is really polite!" ”

The two of them were old acquaintances, and their relationship was also good, so Ryuji Katsuta specially asked Tsuda Shanghui to greet Ning Zhiheng at the door.

Ning Zhiheng and Tsuda Shanghui laughed a few words, and then turned around and introduced: "This is my right-hand man Hirao Daichi, the manager of Fujiwara Club, please take care of Tsuda-kun in the future!" ”

Ning Zhiheng is gradually expanding the contact area of Hirao Daichi to facilitate his future work.

"Hirao-kun!"

"Tsuda-kun!"

Tsuda Naoki and Hirao Daichi hurriedly greeted each other and exchanged a few words of greeting.

At this time, Ryuji Katsuta, who had already received the report, nodded to the guests around him, and when he was gone, he called out to Ishikawa Takeshi, who was standing on the side, and the two of them hurried to the gate of the villa to welcome Ning Zhiheng's arrival.

Although there were not many guests at the banquet, they were all dignitaries and dignitaries from all walks of life in Shanghai, and when they saw Ryuji Katsuta personally greet the guests, they were all in high spirits, and they focused their eyes on it.

After a while, a tall and handsome young man in a crisp suit walked in, and Ryuji Katsuta personally guided him in front, and the two of them talked cordially as they walked.

Everyone was not familiar with this young man, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the guests present, and for a while they were all talking to each other, whispering, and inquiring about the origin of this young man.

Ning Zhiheng also knew that this was too attention-grabbing and contrary to his original intention, but it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so he had to go with the flow and follow Ryuji Katsuta into the hall.

Just as Ning Zhiheng entered the hall, Taro Sagawa, the head of the special high school section, and his assistant Imai Yushi, who had been standing not far away to observe, also set their eyes on Ning Zhiheng.

These highly trained agents, their memory of people's appearances is incomparable to ordinary people, and when they saw Ning Zhiheng's appearance clearly, they quickly glanced at each other, and they all recognized this young man.

More than a year ago, Ning Zhiheng entered Shanghai for the first time, and was taken by Kuroki Yue to the office building of the garrison headquarters to visit General Junpei Uehara, the head of the intelligence department of the military department.

At that time, the three of them deliberately memorized each other's appearances, Ning Zhiheng was because he knew that the other party was the head of the special high class, so he had to memorize their appearances, and it was also because of this meeting that Ning Zhiheng drew their portraits, which eventually led to Imai Yuzhi being ambushed during the operation, seriously injured and returning to China, and recuperating for more than half a year before returning to his post.

And Sagawa Taro and Imai Yushi knew that this young man was General Uehara's distinguished guest because General Junpei Uehara personally sent Ning Zhiheng out of the door at that time, so they also paid special attention to it, and they have always had a deep impression of Ning Zhiheng's appearance.

Later, they never saw this young man again, and until today, they met again here, and Taro Sagawa was surprised in his heart, and said in a low voice, "Do you recognize it?" This young man seems to have some connection with General Uehara. ”

Imai Yushi also nodded and said: "I recognized it, I didn't expect this person to be a distinguished guest at Katsuta Daisa, it seems that the relationship between the two is very close, and the section leader should contact him if he has the opportunity!" ”

Sagawa Taro nodded slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "Of course, to be valued by General Uehara, this person's background must be extraordinary, just look at Katsuta-kun's performance!" ”

Soon the banquet began, and more than a dozen important guests remained in the main hall, and all the retinues were invited to the side hall, where they were accompanied by several high-ranking military police officers such as Takeshi Ishikawa.

Ryuji Katsuta first gave a speech, he stood up, looked around at the guests with a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Everyone, today is the day I moved to a new house, my wife and children crossed the ocean to Shanghai to meet me, I didn't expect that I actually have a home in distant China, and all the people sitting here are my comrades-in-arms and friends for many years, so please come together to get together, please don't be polite!" ”

Speaking of this, he turned to Ning Zhiheng, who was sitting beside him, and introduced: "There is a young friend here to introduce to you, Fujiwara Tomohito, a son of the Fujiwara family in Kyoto, the president of the Fujiwara Club, and my best friend!" ”

Ryuji Katsuta solemnly introduced Ning Zhiheng to his friends, just to pull Ning Zhiheng into his social circle and bring the relationship between the two people closer to each other, because he knew that whether it was because of his background or future interests, Ning Zhiheng was worthy of him.

As soon as his words came out, everyone else was impressed, the influence of the Fujiwara family in Japan is too great, it is one of the top families second only to the imperial family, it has been a regent for many years in history, and there are many queens in the family, and several generations of emperors are the grandsons of the Fujiwara family, which can be said to be extremely prominent.

Even if the Fujiwara president in front of him is not a descendant of the Fujiwara family, he is still a step above everyone here in terms of social class.

It's just that in modern times, the strength of the aristocratic class has declined, and many commoner-born magnates have begun to control some of the power, which makes the dignity of the social class not as strict as before.

Ning Zhiheng had no choice but to stand up at this time, bowed slightly, and said with a pause: "Fujiwara Zhiren, please take care of me!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to slack off, and they all got up to salute, and Ryuji Katsuta introduced these friends to Ning Zhiheng one by one.

"This is the commander of the 18th Brigade of the Garrison, Masakazu Yoshioka, who is also a native of Kyoto, my comrade-in-arms and fellow countryman for many years!"

"This is Su Yue, the mayor of Shanghai, and my classmate at Kyoto University."

"This is Taro Sagawa, the head of the Shanghai Special High Division, the best intelligence officer in the empire!"

"This is ......"

When Ryuji Katsuta finished the introduction, Ning Zhiheng knew that Ryuji Katsuta's social circle was full of powerful figures from all walks of life in Shanghai, and he was really worth the trip this time.

When he was chatting happily, Sagawa Taro raised a glass to Ning Zhiheng and said: "I have had a relationship with Fujiwara-kun before, but I didn't have the opportunity to talk in detail at that time, it's a pity, today's reunion is really worth celebrating!" ”

Ning Zhiheng showed a puzzled look on his face, and said politely: "I also think Sagawa-kun is very familiar, but I can't remember it for a while, I don't know ...... last time we met."

Taro Sagawa immediately said: "A year ago, at the door of the office of General Junpei Uehara of the military headquarters, General Uehara personally sent Fujiwara-kun out of the door, and I was waiting at the door......"

Ning Zhiheng suddenly made a sudden realization, and said with a smile to Sagawa Taro: "Yes, yes, I remembered, it turns out that Sagawa-kun and I are really old acquaintances, come, a toast to our reunion!" ”

The two of them raised their glasses at the same time to celebrate, and they met late, which also allowed several guests next to them to find something to talk about.

Yoshioka Masakazu, who had not said much, suddenly asked, "It turns out that Fujiwara-kun and General Uehara of the military department are also old friends?" ”

Ryuji Katsuta introduced with a smile: "Fujiwara-kun and General Uehara are friends in the year, General Uehara's calligraphy is exquisite, it can be called a must, and he also specially wrote a word to give to Fujiwara-kun, the content I still remember!" ”

Speaking of this, he coughed lightly, adjusted his mood, his face was solemn, his tone became deep, and he slowly recited: "I have tasted the sweet and spicy taste of the world, and I know that it is cold and warm outside the words, it is really a good word!" I am very envious! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it shocked everyone's hearts, it turned out that this Fujiwara Tomohito is not only a noble son of the Fujiwara family, but also has a relationship with General Junpei Uehara in the army, which is really very comparable.

Like the intelligence services of all countries, Junpei Uehara, as the head of the intelligence department of the military department, his status as a major general is far greater than that of ordinary major generals in the army.

In the Japanese Army, the average division commander is the rank of major general, and even the commander of some main force brigades is the rank of major general, and he only commands those units under his command.

However, the power of a major general in the intelligence department is amazing, and his authority can even control the intelligence work of a front army.

Junpei Uehara was the chief intelligence officer in charge of the entire Central China Front of the Japanese Army, and it can be said that one of his decisions could even affect the operational direction of the entire Front Army.

The situation of China's intelligence department is the same, as the head of the military intelligence investigation department, the rank of the department is only a major general, but he can be responsible for the intelligence work of the entire military, and his power is so great that he can even fight against those bigwigs in the army without falling behind.

"There is news that General Uehara will soon be promoted to lieutenant general because of his outstanding achievements in presiding over the intelligence department in Central China, and he will be in Nanjing, I don't know what new news Fujiwara-kun has?" An officer with the rank of Dazuo asked.

Ning Zhiheng showed a wry smile at the right time, spread his hands, and said: "I'm very sorry, my news is blocked, how can I compare to all of you here, but with the merits of General Shangyuan, promotion is a matter of time, is everyone right?" ”

This remark immediately received everyone's approval, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very harmonious for a while.

During this banquet, everyone talked very happily until late at night, and then they said goodbye and left.

Ning Zhiheng also gained a lot in this banquet, he gradually extended his tentacles through the social circle of Ryuji Katsuta, and at the same time, he was also recognized by the high-level leaders of the Shanghai military and political circles, adding a layer of protection to his hidden work, and now he has become more and more handy with the work behind enemy lines in Shanghai, the main intelligence theater!
