A little after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, at the Jinjiang Chuanwei restaurant on Aidoya Road, in the underground telecommunications room of the Military Command Intelligence Group in the backyard, Fang Xiaoman received a telegram from the Chongqing Military Command Headquarters.

The telegram reads:

"Sea Snake, agree to your request to join the Japanese intelligence agency undercover, in order to facilitate your disguise, you can be allowed to openly make pro-Japanese and flattering remarks, if necessary, at the expense of some of our peripheral organizations, the Central Unification Hidden Organization can also be, and other anti-Japanese underground organizations will be dealt with at your discretion."

"This message has been archived with the Military Commission of the National Government."

After Fang Xiaoman translated the message, he immediately came to Feng Chen's office on the third floor of the Zhonghui Building.

"Team leader, the Chongqing headquarters called back." Fang Xiaoman handed the message to Feng Chen.

Feng Chen carefully read the message, and his hanging heart was completely put down.

This telegram fully shows that Dai Li now trusts himself.

This telegram also explained that Dai Li had followed the normal procedures, and Dai Li also hinted in the telegram that he could appropriately betray the underground organs of the military command when necessary.

The telegram also faintly hinted that other anti-Japanese underground organizations in Shanghai could be betrayed at will, and Feng Chen understood Dai Li's meaning in this way.

Dai Li knew very well that in order to gain the trust of the Japanese, there must be something tangible, and there was no need to be bitter, and it was impossible to penetrate into the core of the Japanese spy agency.

Since you are undercover, you must enter the core, and since you have chosen to go undercover, you must have sacrifices!

"Xiaoman, in the future, the main work of the Shanghai Intelligence Group will depend on you, and for a long time in the future, I may focus on the work over there."

After reading the message, Feng Chen raised his head and looked at Fang Xiaoman, solemnly instructing.

"Well, team leader, I understand." Fang Xiaoman nodded.

Since Feng Chen and Fang Xiaoman have known each other for three years, they have a very tacit understanding at work, and it can be said that the relationship between the two is like brother and sister.

Feng Chen seems to be arranging the aftermath, and this series of changes indicates that the spy war struggle in Shanghai will enter a more brutal period.

"Team leader, do you want to report to the headquarters and send a telegraph operator to our intelligence group, after Captain Xu is transferred, we don't have enough people here."

Since Xu Jian was transferred to the head of the Suzhou Station of the Military Command, Fang Xiaoman has been busy inside and outside almost every day, and soon Feng Chen is going to join the Japanese organization, so that the work of the intelligence group may be paralyzed.

"I have already made two requests to the headquarters, why is the headquarters delaying arranging people to come? I don't know how Chief Dai thinks about it, is there no suitable candidate? ”

Feng Chen also felt very puzzled, judging from the current situation, the intelligence group urgently needed a telecommunications officer.

"Immediately you will send another telegram to the headquarters in the name of the two of us." Feng Chen commanded.

"Okay, I'll send it." Fang Xiaoman agreed, got up and left Feng Chen's office.

Feng Chen was alone in the office, picked up the message again and read it carefully, thinking to himself, it seems that there may be a split at the top of the national government recently.

Feng Chen is very good at associating from two unrelated things, and Dai Li's telegram today gives him too much power to make decisions on the spot, and the big one can allow him to betray the underground organization of the military command, and can allow him to betray the anti-Japanese underground organization.

Feng Chen knew very well that the family law of the military commander was quite strict, and he never let go of the people who betrayed the organization, and Dai Li's ability to make such a decision showed that Feng Chen's identity as an undercover agent was very important.

After sitting in the office for a while, Feng Chen took the telegram and prepared to go back to the No. 23 apartment in Xingfu Lane to report to Comrade An Zhida, who was also anxiously waiting for the military commander's reply.

As soon as I got up, the phone on my desk rang.

Feng Chen reached out and grabbed the microphone, and Ishikawa Masao's voice came from inside: "Feng Sang, the teacher asked me to tell you that I will let you attend an important event together in the evening." ”

"Oh? Important event? Do you know what the event is? Feng Chen asked.

"I only heard that two distinguished guests came from Chongqing, and General Tu Feiyuan entertained them at the Shanghai International Hotel in the evening, and you were one of the people invited to accompany them." Masao Ishikawa, who was on the phone, replied.

"Distinguished guests from Chongqing? Do you know who it is? Feng Chen asked.

"I don't know much about this, won't you know when you arrive at night?" After saying that, Masao Ishikawa hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Feng Chen wondered, who would be the distinguished guest from Chongqing?

From the phone, Feng Chen heard that Ishikawa Masao didn't know who the person who came, could it be Gao Zongwu coming? Are you here to find the soil and fertilizer to explore the way?

It's likely to be Gao Zongwu!

After thinking about it, Feng Chen left the office, went downstairs to get in the car, and went straight to the happiness lane on Hankou Road.

……

Feng Chen's analysis is very correct, the distinguished guest in Ishikawa Masao's mouth is indeed Gao Zongwu, but in addition to Gao Zongwu, there is also Wang Jingwei's secret envoy Mei Siping.

These two people secretly came to Shanghai to stand for Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and others.

Kagesa Showa and Imai Takeo's fishing plan was finally about to succeed, and the fish began to take the bait, and the bait was the "Fundamental Policy for Handling the China Incident" adopted by the Imperial Council at the beginning of the year.

This policy declares that if the Chinese Government does not accept Japan's conditions, Japan will no longer recognize the Nationalist Government in the future, that is, it will not use it as a negotiating opponent, but will foster a new "central government" and adjust relations with it.

Japan's so-called new "central government" is actually to support the establishment of a Japanese puppet government.

Originally, the preparatory objects of the Japanese characters were Tang Shaoyi and Wu Peifu, but after Kenji Dohihara came into contact with Tang Shaoyi, he had just talked about some eyebrows, and Tang Shaoyi was killed inexplicably.

And Wu Peifu insisted that he was sick and never cooperated with the Japanese.

This made Kenji Dohihara very angry!

Under these circumstances, Kenji Dohihara, at the instigation of Kagesazhen Showa and Takeo Imai, turned his attention to Wang Jingwei, vice president of the Kuomintang.

Wang Ching-wei, vice president of the Kuomintang, did not slack off on the spirit of the Japanese Imperial Conference, and he attached great importance to the "Fundamental Principles for Handling the China Incident" adopted by the Japanese Imperial Conference.

It is estimated that Wang Jingwei is the backbone members of the low-key club who led him, and conducted in-depth study and serious discussions.

Among them, Zhou Fohai is a typical example of learning and applying it and seeing immediate results.

As soon as the spirit of the Japanese Imperial Conference was conveyed, Zhou Fohai flexibly adopted deceptive methods, secretly sending Gao Zongwu to Shanghai to secretly cooperate with the enemy on the pretext of sending Gao Zongwu to Hong Kong to collect information, and despite the prevention of Chiang Kai-shek and Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui.

When Chiang Kai-shek discovered the abnormality and cut off Gao Zongwu's funds, Zhou Fohai actually used the funds of the Kuomintang Central Propaganda Department to continue to support Gao Zongwu.

Under Gao Zongwu's jumping up and down, the secret negotiations with the Japanese were already somewhat eyebrow-raising.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai made up their minds and sent Mei Siping and Gao Zongwu to Shanghai to hold talks with Kenji Dohihara, a great Japanese spy.

Speaking of this Mei Siping, he is not an ordinary person!

If he hadn't led a team to burn down Zhao's house, beat Zhang Zongxiang, and made the matter of shouting slogans on the street bigger, there would have been no "May Fourth Movement" that became famous later.

The first to negotiate with Mei Siping was Shigeharu Matsumoto.

In August, under Gao Zongwu's arrangement, Mei Siping, on behalf of Wang Jingwei, held five consecutive secret talks with Matsumoto on the conditions and methods for realizing Sino-Japanese peace.

During the talks, Mei Siping told Matsumoto that the peace movement must be led by Mr. Wang Zhaoming, and that Zhou Fohai and some of our comrades, gathered under Mr. Wang's banner, had already taken action, and that we had contacted Long Yun in Yunnan, generals in Sichuan, and Zhang Fakui in Guangdong.

Subsequently, Mei Siping and Gao Zongwu held further negotiations with Yoshiaki Nishi, Yoshio Ito, and others, and drew up a detailed plan for realizing "Sino-Japanese peace."

It was precisely because of this secret negotiation some time ago that Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai finally made up their minds and embarked on the adventurous road of treason and defection to the enemy to establish another puppet regime.

After secret discussions with Zhou Fohai, Chen Gongbo, Gao Zongwu, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, and others, Wang Jingwei decided to send Mei Siping and Gao Zongwu to Shanghai to negotiate with Kenji Dohihara and sign an agreement on the realization of peace conditions and the formation of another government.
