In the next few days, the Shanghai station moved quickly, Wang Hanmin sent a telegram to the fifth detachment of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army operating in southern Jiangsu, and selected 100 capable operatives, through his own channels, the number of people per day varied, and entered the French Concession in Shanghai one after another.

At the same time, he took out all the small funds in his hand, purchased a large number of arms, guns, weapons and ammunition from the black market, and actively made preparations before the operation.

But he didn't expect that his two safe houses were all in the hands of the Japanese, and it was difficult to hide the surveillance of so many people.

Chen Jiaping also received a report from his subordinates again.

"Young Master, there have been a lot of faces on Yannan Street in the past few days, especially in Yonghe Commercial Bank, at least nearly forty strange young men have come, in the No. 27 apartment of the North Gate Mansion, since those five people left, ten more young men have lived in on the third day, and there are many people We haven't found out, but it is certain that this group of people is quite a few people, and they rarely show up, most of the time they hide in the house and don't come out!"

Ah Sheng reported his observations to Chen Jiaping in detail.

Chen Jiaping couldn't help but be shocked, so many people suddenly appeared in the French Concession, and now the other party is obviously powerful, obviously it is not Guo Jianglong, nine times out of ten it is that group of Chinese agents.

Fortunately, I endured this breath, otherwise I really exchanged fire with the other party, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Jiaping instructed Ah Sheng: "Don't worry about them, you just need to stare from afar, don't get close, I think these people must have a big deal to do in the near future, as long as the target is not us, the rest go with them." ”

"Yes!" Ah Sheng nodded and left.

Chen Jiaping watched Ah Sheng's back leave, and a cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from his back, almost provoking those guys, but fortunately he didn't attack those people.

Of course, these actions of the Shanghai station did not hide from the Japanese sleeper team that had been secretly monitoring.

The situation was quickly reported back to Ryoko Kitaoka, and she urgently reported it to Taro Sagawa, the section chief.

"Section chief, this is the situation, I originally arranged a few teams of action team members, ready to enter the French Concession at any time to clear this agent, but now the situation has changed abruptly, in the past few days, the other party has suddenly increased a lot of personnel, we do not have an advantage in strength, if there are too many personnel, it will be difficult to control the situation, and it will definitely fall out with the French, so please ask the section chief to instruct!"

Kitaoka Ryoko thought about it a lot, because after all, it was a French jurisdiction, and if she moved too much and caused a firefight of hundreds of people, it would be a slap in the face to the French.

Moreover, it is a gathering area for Chinese, and the attitude of the Green Gang has always been unclear, and if it is boiled, once the Green Gang and the Concession patrol intervene, they may not be able to successfully complete the task in the end.

After listening to Kitaoka Ryoko's report, Sagawa Taro thought about it for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "What is the purpose of these Chinese agents who suddenly transferred so many personnel?" Is it a long time to lurk in the French Concession? Or are they making big moves in the near future? ”

Kitaoka Ryoko had already thought about it in her heart, and she replied: "Their actions are very large, and they seem to be a little hasty, dozens of agents are squeezed in a small trading house, at least it means that they don't have enough time to prepare, it doesn't look like there is an expected behavior, my opinion is that they should have a big operation in the near future, and this operation requires a large number of people, so they have transferred so many people." ”

"So what do you think their goal will be?" Taro Sagawa asked, staring closely at Ryoko Kitaoka.

Ryoko Kitaoka hesitated for a moment and did not answer easily.

Sagawa Taro asked again: "At present, Shanghai has been firmly controlled by us, the Chinese agents should know this, if a big operation is carried out, the success rate is very low, and it will take a lot of risks, but since they want to do this, they must have their reasons, think about it, what is it worth them to be willing to take a risk and take a big action?" ”

Ryoko Kitaoka looked at Section Chief Taro Sagawa suspiciously, pondering the meaning of his words, and finally asked uncertainly, "You mean, their goal is the Eclipse Moon Project?" ”

But she quickly denied this answer and said: "The eclipse moon plan is top secret, and the Chinese know that they have lost a billion yuan of fiat currency, but how can they know that these fiat currencies will be shipped to Shanghai?" ”

Sagawa Taro also said thoughtfully: "The fiat currency was transported from Guangzhou to Shanghai, and many people in the naval intelligence department knew it, and as far as I know, in the past two years, many important information in the naval intelligence department have been repeatedly leaked, so it is possible that this news is known by the Chinese." ”

Kitaoka Ryoko felt that Taro Sagawa was a little taken for granted, could it be that just by virtue of a conjecture, he pulled the anomaly of the Chinese agents to the Eclipse Moon Project, is there some grass and trees!

"Section Chief, I think your statement is a bit too much, even if the Chinese agents know that these fiat currencies have been shipped to Shanghai, but how can they find the true whereabouts of these fiat currencies, they are afraid that they don't even know the target, how can they carry out the operation?"

Taro Sagawa picked up a document on the table and said to Ryoko Kitaoka: "Just a few days ago, there were a number of disappearances in downtown Shanghai, two of which involved expatriates.

Kenta Hashimoto, 37 years old, is a clerk at the Arai Trading House in Japan.

Yasuo Kuwabara, 25 years old, is a waiter at a pastry shop.

When we investigated, we found out that they disappeared on the same day, both on February 2, and when we investigated their resumes, we found another thing in common, that is, the two of them knew each other, because they both worked in the library building before the Battle of Songhu, one was a librarian and the other was a library cleaner. ”

"The Library Building? Isn't that the base I'm requisitioning right now to complete the Eclipse Project? When Ryoko Kitaoka heard this, she only felt a chill in her back.

This situation is too important, the intuition of a good agent tells her that there must be a problem here, that intelligence work must not believe in coincidences, and there must be an inevitable reason behind coincidences.

Sagawa Taro nodded and said, "I also think there is something wrong, and I was about to remind you, do you think this could be done by Chinese agents?" ”

Kitaoka Ryoko's brain was spinning rapidly at this time, and she asked uncertainly: "If these two disappearances were committed by Chinese agents, then how did they lock these two targets?" How could their information be so accurate, in such a large urban area of Shanghai, to accurately find the location of the library building, the information of the Chinese agents is too well-informed! ”

Sagawa Taro was a little disappointed with Kitaoka Ryoko's performance, this woman judged things to be too subjective, he explained again: "Don't take your opponent lightly, especially that mysterious secret agent force, their intelligence ability is even more powerful than you and I think, so Kitaoka Team Leader, your most important task now is to strictly defend the library building, and never let the enemy have a chance, as for the abnormal situation of the Chinese agents, leave it to me to deal with, I will gather all my forces and be on guard at all times, And set up an ambush near the library building, as long as their target is really this batch of fiat currency, then I will weave a trap for them to have no return. ”

"Hey! I see! I'm going back to set up a guard! Ryoko Kitaoka replied with a bow.

"No, no, Team Leader Kitaoka, my request is to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, don't change the shift cycle and personnel of the vigilance, if I am an enemy, I will definitely observe every move of the library building in secret, and you can't let the other party have any vigilance."

Taro Sagawa is an extremely experienced veteran agent in the end, and he thinks carefully, carefully scrutinizing every detail, trying not to reveal any flaws.

Ryoko Kitaoka immediately nodded and said, "Understood, I'll go back and arrange!" ”

At this time, she remembered another thing, and asked again: "I have one more thing I want to ask you for." ”

"What's the matter?"

"At present, the eclipse moon plan is going very well, in less than a month, we have figured out the composition ratio of fiat currency pigments and the analysis of the material of the paper, and now the work is already in a stage, further research, it will require the cooperation of top domestic experts, I submitted the application last time, I don't know if you submitted it, we are now waiting for the arrival of these experts!"

Sagawa Taro was obviously very satisfied with the work of Ryoko Kitaoka during this time, and he smiled and said: "You can rest assured that the eclipse moon plan is the top priority of our current work, and all departments must cooperate unconditionally.

In particular, the production of engraving has been unsatisfactory, we deliberately replaced the engraving personnel a year ago, and the current person in charge of engraving is our domestic top engraving master Mr. Kanda Yushan, his engraving production has tended to be completed, this time he will personally take this engraving and two paper analysis experts to Shanghai together, with you to complete the eclipse plan, I will immediately send someone to meet the escort in China. ”

When Kitaoka Ryoko heard the news, her spirits were lifted, and she hurriedly nodded and said, "That's great, so that the success of the Eclipse Moon Project is just around the corner!" ”

Taro Sagawa waved his hand and said, "So be it!" Team Leader Kitaoka, I am very satisfied with your ability to do your job, if this time I can crack that mysterious secret service unit, I will personally ask for credit for you, I promise, this will be the most glorious moment of your espionage career! ”

"Hey!" Ryoko Kitaoka's heart was thrilled by Taro Sagawa's words, and she bowed down again and replied.
