Chapter 0599 - Seeking Asylum

When Feng Chen drove to the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening.

In the chess and card room on the second floor of the consulate, Ryuichi Hiraoka was playing Go with Hidemi Ozaki intently, and Masao Ishikawa stood by and watched quietly.

This made Feng Chen feel very surprised.

When did Hidemi Ozaki come to Shanghai?

Since the Japanese army's dream of a quick victory in the war against China went bankrupt, at the beginning of the year, the Konoe cabinet resigned, and since then, Feng Chen has not had any news from Ozaki Hidemi, how could he be here today?

Ozaki Hidemi must have shouldered an important mission when he came to Shanghai, and Wang Jingwei had just returned to Shanghai, Feng Chen analyzed that Ozaki Hidemi's visit to Shanghai must be related to Wang Jingwei's peaceful nation-building.

Feng Chen didn't disturb Ryuichi Hiraoka and Hidemi Ozaki playing chess, he gently walked over to Masao Ishikawa and stood still, watching the situation on the chessboard.

Masao Ishikawa tilted his head, looked at Feng Chen, and nodded with a slight smile.

"Good chess!"

As one of Ryuichi Hiraoka's sunspots fell, Hidemi Ozaki couldn't help but exclaim.

"Feng Sang? When did you arrive? ”

Ozaki Hidemi raised his head, only to find Feng Chen, who was standing quietly beside Masao Ishikawa, hurriedly getting down from the tatami mat and greeting Feng Chen warmly.

"Ozaki-kun, you're a rare guest!" Feng Chen stretched out his hands and shook Ozaki Hidemi warmly.

"Feng San, Ozaki-kun only arrived in the morning, and just now he was still saying that he was going to visit you tomorrow, but I didn't expect you to come at this time, it seems that there is something important."

Hiraoka Ryuyi glanced at Feng Chen and also got down from the tatami mat.

"Teacher, there is indeed a very important situation, I don't know if the teacher knows?" Feng Chen hesitated for a moment, glanced at Ozaki Hidemi next to him and replied.

"What's the situation? You can say that there are no outsiders here. Ryuichi Hiraoka urged.

"At about five o'clock this afternoon, Li Shiqun of No. 76 led the people of the action team to copy the Shanghai District of the Military Command on Lafeid Road, and Wang Tianmu has been secretly arrested."

"Oh? It seems that Li Shiqun wants to show his merit to Wang Zhaoming! ”

"There's another important piece of information."

"What?"

"The Military Command Headquarters, a commissioner has been sent from Chongqing, and he is currently living in the Oriental Hotel, teacher, what do you think ......?"

"Ishikawa-kun, you take Matsuo Taro and Nanzo Yunzi, and immediately go to the Oriental Hotel to search for the military commissioner, you must not let him escape!"

Ryuichi Hiraoka gave the order without hesitation.

"Yes!"

Masao Ishikawa agreed, turned around and hurried out of the chess and card room.

"Let's sit down and talk."

After Ishikawa Masao left, Ryuichi Hiraoka pointed to the tea table next to him, and asked Hidemi Ozaki and Feng Chen to sit down, and he personally poured tea for the two.

"Teacher, Wang Tianmu was arrested, I am very worried." Feng Chen took the teacup handed over by Ryuichi Hiraoka and said cautiously.

"Oh? What to worry about? Hiraoka Ryuyi glanced at Feng Chen.

"Teacher, do you remember? Some time ago, I told you that Wang Tianmu was secretly digging a tunnel and preparing to blow up the No. 76 headquarters. Feng Chen replied slowly.

"Hehe, are you afraid that Wang Tianmu will confess to you?" Ryuichi Hiraoka smiled slightly.

"Teacher, I know that you trust me, but Li Shiqun of No. 76, after all, they are at the mercy of Shadow Zuozhen Showa and Qingqi Qingyin, plus I originally had a conflict with Wang Tianmu, at this time, Wang Tianmu will definitely bite me like a mad dog."

Feng Chen voiced his worries.

"Feng Sang, don't worry, there is a teacher and I am here, they will not treat you like this, what you should do the same, don't you have an old saying in China? You are not afraid of shadows, all your actions are carried out with my approval, and these are all registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, what are you afraid of? ”

Feng Chen was silent, Hiraoka Ryuichi's words made him secretly ponder in his heart for a long time, not only did he not feel relieved, but he even more worried.

It's a matter of time before Wang Tianmu bites out himself, can Ryuichi Hiraoka save himself?

"Hehe, Feng Sang, Pinggang-kun has already said it, you don't have to worry too much, Li Shiqun's gang can't do anything to you, don't worry."

Ozaki Hidemi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup in front of him, touched Feng Chen's teacup, and took a sip lightly, comforting him.

"Good tea!" Hidemi Ozaki put down his teacup and sighed.

Feng Chen knew in his heart that Ozaki Hidemi was sending him a signal that he would also help him secretly in the matter of Wang Tianmu's arrest.

"Ozaki-kun, are you here in Shanghai this time for an interview, or do you have other business trips?" Feng Chen put down the teacup, glanced at Ozaki Hidemi, and asked tentatively.

"Haha, Feng Sang, since the resignation of the Konoe cabinet, I am an idler, why talk about business? I'm just here to relax. Hidemi Ozaki laughed twice, glanced at Ryuichi Hiraoka and replied.

"At present, the Sino-Japanese war has entered a phase of stalemate, and the dream of the arrogant people in the military department who are on the theory of quick victory has been shattered, and how to consolidate the rule of the occupied areas is a problem that needs to be solved urgently in front of the great Japanese government."

Hiraoka Ryu stood up with a teacup, frowned, and counted square steps in the chess and card room.

"Wang Jingwei's strategy of peaceful nation-building, the Japanese cabinet and the military have reached an agreement, our purpose is to use China to contain China, but the cabinet must not lose the right to speak in Wang Jingwei!"

Ryuichi Hiraoka sat down in front of the tea table again and put the teacup down heavily.

"Feng Sang, let me tell you the truth, the plan reported by Pinggang Jun to set up a "Cherry Blossom Society" in Shanghai has been approved by the cabinet, and the Cherry Blossom Association will be an advisory organ of Wang Jingwei's government in the future. ”

Hidemi Ozaki finally implicitly told Feng Chen the purpose of his visit to Shanghai.

"When does the Wang Jingwei Group plan to set up a government?" Feng Chen asked.

"The plan must be established by the end of this year, and at the latest at the beginning of next year, the sooner the better." Hidemi Ozaki replied.

"Therefore, Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun's No. 76 agent headquarters chose to end the military command of the Shanghai District at this time, they just want to get a big share of Wang Zhaoming's pie." Ryuichi Hiraoka said.

"So what are we going to do?" Feng Chen asked.

"The Sakura Club will be established immediately, and with the Shanghai Xingya Institute as the team, it will expand its organization, step up the collection of military, political, economic, and cultural information in all aspects, and its strength will determine the right to speak!" Ryuichi Hiraoka replied.

"Feng Sang, as Hiraoka-kun's most trusted student, you have to worry more about the teacher!" Ozaki Hidemi looked at Feng Chen meaningfully and said.

"That's natural! Ozaki-kun, how is my junior sister Miss Keiko doing? ”

"Hehe, okay, I came to Shanghai this time, and she kept clamoring to come with me, but Hiraoka-kun didn't agree, by the way, I brought a letter from Miss Keiko to you, and I'll give it to you later."

"Thank you, Ozaki-kun!"

Feng Chen got up and added tea to Hidemi Ozaki and Ryuichi Hiraoka's teacup.

"Feng Sang, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, you go to the Pinggang Mansion on North Sichuan Road on time, and we will have a meeting to study the specific action plan of the Cherry Blossom Club." Ryu Hiraoka diverted the topic.

"Yes!"

Feng Chen agreed, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Feng Sang, wait a minute, I'll bring you Keiko's letter." Hidemi Ozaki got up and walked towards the outside of the chess room.

"Feng Sang, who is the commissioner sent by the Military Command Headquarters?"

After Hidemi Ozaki left, Ryuichi Hiraoka suddenly asked.

"Teacher, I don't know what's going on, this time Dai Li sent someone to Shanghai, he didn't notify me in advance, and he didn't ask me to connect, I knew from the Shanghai District of the Military Command that the Military Command Headquarters had sent someone, and I don't know what the purpose was."

"Well, maybe Dai Li also suspects that Wang Tianmu's military command in Shanghai has been exposed, Dai Li doesn't notify you, doesn't let you connect with the commissioner, I analyze, there are two meanings, one is to protect you, and the other is ......"

Hiraoka Ryuichi wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Feng Chen asked.

"Dai Li, maybe you don't feel at ease with your intelligence team!" Hiraoka Ryuichi stared at Feng Chen and replied word by word.

"Dai Lia doesn't trust me?" Feng Chen asked pretending to be surprised.

"It's possible."

As he spoke, Ryuichi Hiraoka turned around and walked towards the chess and card room.
