Chapter 764: Discovery
Japan blockaded the British and French concessions, fenced them with wires, and electrified the wires.
These measures only made the concession uncomfortable.
However, the ban on grain entering the concession quickly caused panic in the concession.
People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic.
Japan banned grain from entering the concession, and suddenly choked the concession's neck.
The only one who is not panicked may be Lu Chengzhou.
Whether it is the Daxing grocery store or the Dahongqiao Wharf, there is enough food stockpiled.
In addition, the gendarmerie detachment at 57 Wenqi Road can get food directly from the city.
No. 57 Man Kei Road is located at the southwestern end of the concession, and the second district is over the wall.
The gendarmerie detachment also built an office area in the second district, next to 57 Man Ki Road, so that the gendarmerie detachment could move freely through the British Concession.
"It's a great move." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile when he saw Kawasaki Hiroshi.
"These Europeans, who usually look like they are on top, now all bow their proud heads." Hiroshi Kawasaki said with a smile.
"Teacher, can you give a batch of grain to Daxing Grocery Store, the price of a generation of flour is now more than 20 yuan." Lu Chengzhou said tentatively.
When Haigu distributed rice, a bag of flour in the Chinese administrative area was only 8 yuan and 5 jiao, while at that time, the concession only needed 8 yuan and 2 jiao per bag, 35 yuan per bag of rice, and cornmeal also cost 2 jiao and 5 cents.
At that time, everyone felt that such a price was the most expensive period in Haigu for 30 years.
However, just after entering 1940, especially after Japan decided to ban grain from entering the concession, each bag of flour immediately exceeded 12 yuan.
The price of grain in Haigu changed almost every day, and within a few days, the price exceeded 20 yuan.
"No, the authorities of the French Concession have already compromised with the Imperial Army, and the Ministry of Industry of the British Concession does not dare to raise any protests against the blockade. Their only hope was that grain would enter the concession. At this time, if there was a large amount of grain suddenly in the Daxing grocery store, although it could take the opportunity to make a profit, it would go against the will of the empire. Kawasaki shook his head.
"It's still the teacher who thinks about it." Lu Chengzhou said sincerely.
Although the Daxing grocery store hoarded a batch of grain, it was basically sold after the flood.
I'm afraid the food left now is only enough for the people in the intelligence room to use for their own use.
In order to bring the British and French concession authorities to their knees, the gendarmerie detachment will definitely not let a grain of grain enter the concession.
"From now on, the Daxing grocery store will no longer sell grain. As long as it's food, you can't sell it. Hiroshi Kawasaki admonished.
"Hey!" Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
"Recently, a new radio station has popped up in the British Concession, which is estimated to be under the military command." Hiroshi Kawasaki said suddenly.
"They're finally coming up." Lu Chengzhou said "excitedly".
But his heart was tight, whose radio station was it?
Liu Jinghua's radio station has always been well controlled, whether it is the time and wavelength of the report, the call sign,
If the delivery time is too long, the location of the report will also be changed.
Although the gendarmerie detachment had two patrol and detection vehicles, it was never able to find the military commander's radio station.
As for the underground party's radio station, it has already withdrawn from Haigu, and even the newspaper personnel have withdrawn.
Suddenly, Lu Chengzhou thought of a possibility, Lu Jizhi.
This new intelligence team leader should have carried a private radio station.
When he met Lu Ji for the first time, Lu Chengzhou introduced him to the situation of the British Concession.
The two mobile detection vehicles of the gendarmerie detachment are not for fun.
If the wavelength of the station, locked by the gendarmerie detachment, is easy to locate.
Shizuo Yamaguchi is investigating the city's largest electricity consumers, but with little success. I want you to look into it in a different way. Hiroshi Kawasaki said.
Prior to this, Shizuo Yamaguchi had been investigating for some time.
However, the other party was cunning, and Shizuo Yamaguchi and Masahiro Matsumoto jointly investigated, but did not make substantial progress.
Otherwise, this kind of secrecy would not have allowed Lu Chengzhou to participate.
"Please show me, teacher." Lu Chengzhou said respectfully.
He was secretly surprised in his heart, Shizuo Yamaguchi and Masahiro Matsumoto teamed up, and they didn't find out the specific location of the radio station, and it seemed that the other party was not simple.
If this radio station is really owned by Lu Jizhi, it would not be surprising.
Lu Jizhi joined the military command a year earlier than Lu Chengzhou.
When he was in Shanghai, he faced a situation that was even worse than that of Haigu.
Otherwise, he would not dare to publish a report in the British Concession.
"According to the investigation, the other party's report is generally between five and six o'clock in the morning, and I hope you can investigate all the people who are still on during this time." Hiroshi Kawasaki said slowly.
"When you act in the early hours of the morning, it's easy to alarm the other party." Lu Chengzhou said embarrassedly.
It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he can't.
"I'm sure you'll have a way." Hiroshi Kawasaki said slowly.
"I will do my best." Lu Chengzhou said firmly.
Since Kawasaki Hiroshi insisted, he naturally couldn't shirk anymore.
After leaving the gendarmerie detachment, Lu Chengzhou quickly met with Lu Jizhi.
"The fire stationmaster seems to be busy?" After Lu Jizhi saw Lu Chengzhou, he said meaningfully.
Although he didn't know the true identity of the flame, as a seasoned agent, he could still see some clues.
Every time the flame saw him, he put on his disguise.
"Did you bring a radio station to Haigu?" Lu Chengzhou said noncommittally.
"Is something wrong?" Lu Jizhi asked.
He did bring a radio station, which was the latest one developed by the military commander, which was smaller in size and more powerful.
It's just that when he came to Haigu, he also had a special mission, and he had to have his own radio station in order to report directly to Dai Li.
"The gendarmerie detachment detected illegal radio reports from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. every day." Lu Chengzhou looked at Lu Jizhi and said slowly.
"This ......," Lu Jizhi said with some embarrassment.
"As I told you, the gendarmerie detachment has two patrol detection vehicles, which operate day and night. If you want to send a report, you must be careful. Not only do you have to send the report at the wrong time, but you also have to change the location of the report frequently. Team Leader Lu, you don't seem to take my words seriously. Lu Chengzhou said lightly.
"The location of the report is often changed, but the time of the report cannot be changed." Lu Jizhi sighed and said.
"Let me know in advance when and where the next report will be issued." Lu Chengzhou said in a deep voice.
"This ......," Lu Jizhi said hesitantly.
"The situation in Haigu is complicated, and the Japanese hate our radio station to the core. It is said that the CCP's radio station has been withdrawn, and every time we send a report, we have to take a big risk. Your radio station, if left unattended, can easily get into trouble. Lu Chengzhou reminded.
"In this matter, you have to consult Boss Dai first." Lu Jizhi did not change his position because Lu Chengzhou was angry.
"Your radio station will be deactivated first, and I will report back to headquarters." Lu Chengzhou said lightly.
"No, if the headquarters can't receive my telegram, they will think that something has happened to me." Lu Jizhi shook his head.
