What kind of conspiracy are the Japanese hatching? Judging from the fact that Yoshiko Kawashima has been active in Shanghai during this time, is the conspiracy planned by the Japanese related to the situation in the three eastern provinces?

"That's right! It must have something to do with the three eastern provinces, and the Japanese wanted to create an incident in Shanghai, divert the attention of the international community, and create conditions for the establishment of a puppet state of Manchukuo in the three eastern provinces. ā€

Based on the information he had, Feng Chen basically analyzed the conspiracy.

Feng Chen's analysis was very correct, as early as January 10, the military attache of the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, Army Major Samurai Tanaka Takayoshi, once received a long telegram in the name of Chief of Staff of Itagaki Seishiro of the Kwantung Army.

Itagaki Seishiro's telegram read: "The Manchurian Incident has progressed as planned, but considering that the Japanese government and military department are afraid that the League of Nations will oppose Manchurian independence, they hope that you will provoke an incident in Shanghai and draw the attention of all countries, and then the Kwantung Army will take the opportunity to achieve Manchurian independence." ā€

On the same day, Takayoshi Tanaka received another 20,000 yuan in activity funds through the Shanghai Yokohama Zhengjin Bank.

When Takayoshi Tanaka finished reading the telegram, the 37-year-old army deputy pondered how to fulfill this important order from his superiors.

I saw him frown tightly and ponder for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face. He thought of an incident that happened in Shanghai yesterday.

On January 8, when the honor guard of the Japanese emperor passed in front of the Sakurada Gate Metropolitan Police Department in Tokyo, the North Korean Lee Bong-chang threw a bomb, but the emperor was not injured due to the miss.

After the incident, the Minguo Daily, the organ of the Kuomintang in Shanghai, immediately reported the news in the newspaper on January 9, which read: "It is a pity that the accompanying vehicle was just blown up!" "I clearly regret that the assassination of Lee Bong-chang was not successful.

The Japanese expatriates living in Shanghai were very dissatisfied with this report and were so excited that for several days in a row, members of the Japanese Resident Militia went to the headquarters of the "Minguo Ribao" newspaper to protest.

Takayoshi Tanaka wondered if he could use this to plot a conspiracy.

Just when Takayoshi Tanaka was racking his brains to figure out how to create an incident, Yoshiko Kawashima rushed to Shanghai from the northeast and met Takayoshi Tanaka.

Yoshiko Kawashima was born in 1906, a descendant of the Manchu royal family, and her Chinese name is Aisin Jueluo? Manifest ring. His father is Prince Su Shanqi, and his ancestor is Prince Wusu Haoge, the first prince of Huang Taiji.

In 1912, Prince Su, who wanted to use the power of Japan to restore the Manchu Dynasty, gave his daughter Xianhuan to his sworn brother Kawashima Naniwa as an adopted daughter, making the two inseparable relatives.

In this way, Xianhuan, who was only 7 years old, came to Japan alone and was named Yoshiko Kawashima by Kawashima Naniwa......

In October 1930, at a banquet held at Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, 23-year-old Yoshiko Kawashima met Takayoshi, then 35-year-old Army Major Sakuro Tanaka. Three months later, Yoshiko Kawashima and Takayoshi Tanaka took residence.

After the 918 Incident, Yoshiko Kawashima rushed to Mukden on the orders of Takayoshi Tanaka and took refuge under the tent of Seishiro Itagaki, a senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army.

She can skillfully use the Chinese and Japanese Chinese, can also speak fluent English, coupled with the golden sign of the Qing royal princess, for the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast to stabilize people's hearts and straighten out the relations between the concessions of major cities.

Takayoshi Tanaka conveyed Seishiro Itagaki instructions to Yoshiko Kawashima, who, after listening to it, analyzed: "Since the 'Manchurian Incident', the hatred of the Japanese among the Chinese, especially the Shanghainese, has increased dramatically. This sentiment is evident from the Minguo Daily's report on the attack on the emperor. ā€

Analyzing this, Yoshiko Kawashima glanced at Takayoshi Tanaka and said, "So, if you want to provoke trouble in Shanghai, I don't think it's a difficult thing." ā€

Takayoshi Tanaka listened to Yoshiko Kawashima's analysis of the current situation, and an approving expression appeared on his face.

Yoshiko Kawashima pondered for a moment, and then said to Takayoshi Tanaka: "I think the so-called provoking trouble is nothing more than creating bloodshed between China and Japan. If you can kill a few people, the effect is even better. ā€

Takayoshi Tanaka said with a smile: "You are very right, I also thought the same way just now, and now the key issue is that we must plan a concrete course of action." ā€

Yoshiko Kawashima said: "I am very much in favor of this plan of action, but we must hide this plan of action from Hiraoka Ryuichi, who is a person from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the attitude of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Kwantung Army in handling Manchurian affairs is incompatible, and I am afraid that after Hiraoka Ryuichi knows about our plan, it will be very unfavorable to our implementation of this plan." ā€

Takayoshi Tanaka pondered, "What if Hiraoka Ryuichi finds out in the future?" After all, I am the military attache of the Shanghai Consulate, and nominally accept the leadership of Ryuichi Hiraoka. ā€

Yoshiko Kawashima said: "You are behind the scenes, I will come forward, I know a person named Wu Ping in Sanyou Industrial Society, this person has a strong anti-Japanese tendency, we can try to do the work of Tong Wuping, provoke Wu Ping, and let him gather the workers of Sanyou Industrial Company to attack the Japanese and create trouble." ā€

"Good! In this way, you managed to get them to attack the monks of Myohoji Temple in Japan, what do you think? Takayoshi Tanaka said with a sinister smile.

"Okay, this method is very good, it just so happens that the Japanese monks of Myohoji Temple often have to pass by the gate of the Sanyou Industrial Shrine factory, and it is very convenient to create friction." Yoshiko Kawashima winked at Takayoshi Tanaka and said.

Takayoshi Tanaka then took out $10,000 and handed it to Yoshiko Kawashima and said, "This $10,000 is the event fund, so we must make this matter a success, and then think about what to do next." ā€

In the days that followed, Yoshiko Kawashima wandered around the Sanyou Industrial Company and the Nissho Donghua Towel Factory on Mayushan Road, looking for an opportunity to stir up trouble.

At the same time, Yoshiko Kawashima also took advantage of her special relationship with Cai Tingkai, commander of the 19th Route Army, to move around near the 19th Route Army in Zhabei and wait for an opportunity to steal information on the deployment of the 19th Route Army.

The conspiracy is approaching step by step!

Feng Chen returned to the Shanghai Social Bureau from Sanyou Industrial Co., Ltd. that night, and after meeting Wu Wenxiong, the director of the bureau, he reported to Wu Wenxiong what he had seen and heard that day.

After the report, Feng Chen said: "Bureau, I feel that the Japanese are planning a big conspiracy, especially the woman Kawashima Yoshiko, she ran to the military headquarters of the 19th Route Army, and she must not have any good intentions." ā€

Wu Wenxiong pondered for a while and said: "The situation is critical! However, on December 15 last year, Chairman Chiang had already announced his resignation, and at present, the party-state is like a fly without a head, and the third encirclement and suppression of the Red Army in Jiangxi has failed, and it is difficult at home and abroad! ā€

Wu Wenxiong spoke, lit a cigar and smoked, as if he was making some decision, Feng Chen sat quietly next to him, not disturbing Wu Wenxiong's thinking.

After a while, Wu Wenxiong knocked the ashes in the ashtray and ordered: "Brother Feng, the three of you continue to stay in the Sanyou Industrial Society, and pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese and Kawashima Yoshiko; I immediately telegraphed the information you have learned today to the Central Investigation Bureau. ā€

Leaving Wu Wenxiong, Feng Chen called a rickshaw and hurried towards the Mingde Bookstore on Xiafei Road.

On the once lively Xiafei Road, neon lights still shine everywhere, but there are many fewer pedestrians on the street.

It is close to the Spring Festival, a traditional festival in China, but the whole of Shanghai is shrouded in a gloomy fog, and there is no festive atmosphere at all, and the Japanese marines continue to increase their troops at Wusongkou, so that the entire Shanghai people smell the smell of gunpowder.

Near the Mingde Bookstore, Feng Chen sent the rickshaw away, put up the collar of his windbreaker to cover half of his face, and looked towards the Mingde Bookstore, the door was closed, and there were a few vendors outside the bookstore who were swaying under the street lamp, Feng Chen hesitated for a moment and turned to leave.

The next morning, Feng Chen came to the vicinity of Mingde Bookstore again, looking from a distance, the door of the bookstore was still tightly closed, at this time in the past, the bookstore had already been open, what was going on today?

Feng Chen stopped, stood across the street and observed for a while, and found that there was one more stall selling breakfast next to the bookstore than before.

It's so abnormal!

Shocked, an ominous premonition enveloped Feng Chen's heart, and without hesitation, Feng Chen immediately turned around and left Xia Fei Road.
